Providence Village City Zoning Code

§ 11 MF

MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

Editor’s note–The numbering of this section and its subsections is as set out in Ord. 2014-060-03.
The Multifamily Residential district (MF) is intended to provide for medium to higher density residential development. The district functions as a buffer or transition between major streets, nonresidential areas, or higher density residential areas and lower density residential areas. Density in this district does not ordinarily exceed nineteen (19) units per acre. The MF district may accommodate duplexes, townhomes, condominiums and apartments. A Special use permit is required for all MF zoning due to the high density and affordable nature of all other residential zoning categories in the Town.
