The HDR - High-Density Residential District is intended to concentrate dense areas of multi-unit residential land uses in the community. This district will create, maintain, and promote a wider variety of housing needs, providing opportunities for broader development by constructing or rehabilitating various building typologies. These typologies may include, but are not limited to, apartments, condominiums, and townhomes containing several dwelling units that would not be permissible in other areas of the City.
