3.3.5.   Residential Urban (R6) District
   A.   District Character. The Residential Urban (R6) district is found in the urban portions of Town proximate to downtown and major transportation corridors. Development is typically more compact with more impervious surfaces than that found in the Town's suburban areas. Urban areas maintain a wide diversity of land uses and are more likely to be proximate to non-residential districts. Compatibility between adjacent land uses is maintained through landscaping, screening, design quality, and site configuration that seeks to control noise, odors, lighting, and incompatible views between developments. The district allows almost all forms of residential development, including therapeutic living arrangements (like nursing homes), retirement communities, and group homes. Densities are in the range of five dwelling units an acre, though they may be increased beyond five units an acre based on design quality. Conservation subdivisions are not permitted in the R6 district. Lot sizes for individual units tend to be smaller and as such, there is an increased reliance on common open space and public recreation amenities, including greenways and a well-connected sidewalk network. The district allows a variety of institutional and neighborhood-supporting non- residential and mixed uses.
