CHAPTER 17

12 - MEDIUM/HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL 9,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM LOT DISTRICT R-2

Sections:


17.12.010 - Purpose and application.

The district is intended primarily to provide for relatively high density concentrations of residential uses in areas where such higher density use is consistent with the general plan and which are convenient to public facilities and services which enable such concentrations. The R-2 district is intended primarily for application to residential areas where proximity to neighborhood residential uses or major streets make multifamily uses appropriate in the vicinity of single-family dwellings.

The medium density residential land use category (7.6 — 15.0 dwelling units/gross acre) provides for a land use pattern characterized predominantly by small scale attached multiple-family residential developments. The typical residential pattern includes duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes, larger scale, low rise, high-amenity apartments. Areas designated as medium-high density residential are to be integrated throughout the community adjacent to transportation, community services and commercial developments. To avoid inappropriate concentration of these facilities, such developments shall be limited to twenty-five (25) contiguous units when integrated into a single-family subdivision and to fifty (50) contiguous units when developed as a freestanding development.
