This chapter is established to provide for moderate and high density residential development in a setting free from noise, traffic, air pollution and other hazards. A variety of housing types is encouraged. Nonresidential uses should be nonintrusive to protect and preserve the neighborhood quality and property values. At the same time, however, a wide range of lifestyle choices is encouraged.
