The R-4, multiple-family residential district, is designed primarily to permit high rise apartment residential development. Due to the large traffic volumes generated by such development, this district is intended to be located adjoining major streets. For its potential benefits as walk-in trade, it should ideally adjoin shopping concentrations. For the purposes of this chapter a high rise structure shall be any structure four or more stories in height.
