Fenton City Zoning Code

ARTICLE V

- MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY MHR AND HIGH DENSITY HDR

Sec. 36-5.01.- Purpose.

a.

The Medium-High Density Residential District (MHR) is intended to be a medium to high density residential district that allows two-family dwellings along with other residentially related facilities which serve the residents in the district. This district also recognizes the existence of older residential areas of the city where larger houses have been or can be converted from single-family to two-family dwellings in order to extend the economic life of these structures and allow owners to justify expenditures for rehabilitation.

b.

The High Density Residential District (HDR) is intended to be the highest density residential district and allow multiple-family dwellings, along with other residentially related facilities which serve the residents in the district. The district will generally serve as a zone of transition between non-residential districts and other residential districts.

(Ord. No. 622, § 5.01, 6-28-04)
