1. Two-Family District

   The Two-Family zoning district maintains a generally spacious residential environment for single-family residential purposes as well as larger parcels of land appropriate for two-family houses. Population density and height of buildings are low enough to be compatible with neighboring single-family development. A minimum of two-unit townhouse structures is permitted per platted property provided each townhouse unit is in compliance with the current Building Code, as amended.

2. Townhouse Dwelling District Regulations

   The Townhouse zoning district allows smaller dwelling units than typically occurs in the Single Family zoning districts. This zoning district is appropriate for infill development as well as for a transitional area from residential to nonresidential areas. A townhouse development may be platted and lots may be sold fee-simple or as condominiums or the development may occupy a single parcel with the units being leased.

3. Multifamily Districts

   The Multifamily zoning districts provide a variety of housing types at multifamily densities. Housing types may take the form of single-family detached, zero lot line, traditional semi-attached, two-family, townhouse or apartment units. These zoning districts are used in areas having convenient access to collector and arterial streets, and nearby civic and commercial uses, as well as employment opportunities. The Multifamily zoning districts are appropriate adjacent to nonresidential districts.

The following principal uses are permitted by right, permitted subject to limitations, or require a special use exception or special permit in the multifamily residential zoning districts. Uses may be subject to additional limitations as specified in Section 6.5 when located inside a Navy Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) (which includes Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones 1 and 2).
