Sec. 6.3. - R3 High density residential.

The R-3 district seeks to create a district that includes many types of residential dwellings that are organized in a cohesive manner. The district uses "build-to" lines instead of traditional setbacks to establish a unified appearance from public streets. The R-3 district should be located adjacent to downtown commercial activity to energize local businesses and sidewalks are very important. Developments in R-3 zones have a high degree of connectivity and culs-de-sac are very rare. Alleys are used to provide vehicular access for townhouses and apartment buildings.
