R-3 MULTIPLE-FAMILY

RESIDENT DISTRICT

§ 154.240 PURPOSE.

The intent of the R-3 Multiple-Family Residential District is to address the varied housing needs of the community by providing locations for development of multiple-family housing at a higher density than is permitted in the single-family districts. In addressing these housing needs, multiple-family housing in the R-3 district should be designed in consideration of the following objectives.

(A) R-3 developments are generally considered suitable transitional uses between single-family detached housing and nonresidential development.

(B) Multiple-family housing should be provided with necessary services and utilities, including usable outdoor recreation space and a well designed internal road network.

(C) Multiple-family housing should be designed to be compatible with surrounding or nearby single- family housing. Accordingly, one and two-story housing is considered appropriate in the R-3 district.

(D) Multiple-family developments in the R-3 district should have direct access to a collector road or major thoroughfare.
