The Residence G District is intended to provide compact, appropriate-scaled buildings in the villages, which offer an alternative to single-family dwellings. The district may be allowed in limited sites in the villages, which can establish an effective transition from the villages to adjacent neighborhoods. The sites shall provide a high degree of pedestrian connectivity to increase accessibility and patronage of businesses, and to enhance the pedestrian character of the villages. The Residence G District is only applicable as a base zoning district in association with the village overlay standards, where building scale and orientation to streetscapes and surrounding parcels have been considered in association with a specific area master plan, or the Residence G District may be used as the base zoning district in a PUD plan for areas identified as being appropriate for a PUD in the village master plans.
