Comprehensive Land Use Categories

Land Use Category:  “Low Density Residential”

Description of Land Use Category: Low Density Residential Development includes single-family residential Development on individual lots. Recommended development densities in Low Density Residential areas should not exceed 9 dwelling units per acre. The plan acknowledges that medium density uses that have historically existed in the neighborhood can remain; however the conversion of existing single-family homes into medium density units is discouraged. Lower-impact community uses such as schools, religious assemblies, parks and community centers can be included in this category and should be centrally located for convenient neighborhood access.

Permitted Zoning Districts:  “R-3”, “R-4”, “R-5”, “R-6”

 

Land Use Category:  “Medium Density Residential”

Description of Land Use Category: Medium Density Residential includes a variety of detached or attached dwellings, including single-family homes, townhomes and zero lot line configurations, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Recommended development densities in Medium Density Residential should not exceed 18 dwelling units per acre. This form of development should be located along collectors, or residential roads, and can serve as a buffer between low density residential and more intense land uses like commercial. This classification includes certain non-residential uses such as schools, religious assemblies, parks and community centers that are centrally located for convenient neighborhood access.

Permitted Zoning Districts:  “R-3”, “R-4”, “R-5”, “R-6”, “RM-4”,

                     Goal: Conserve, rehabilitate and/or replace (if necessary) housing stock.
