The purpose of this district is to serve as a transition between residential and more intensive nonresidential districts as well as to encourage the redevelopment of existing or older neighborhoods characterized by single-family residences on relatively smaller lots and provide reduced setback requirements and a defined street orientation. This includes residential and commercial uses with a low noise and traffic impact which would generally be considered compatible with a residential area which may or may not have buffering requirements as documented in section 36-241 of this article.
