ARTICLE XI
VR-5 Mixed Residential Zone
§ 980-46 Intent and purpose.
A.
The Mixed Residential Zone is established to provide a variety of housing types related to the size and character of the development site or lot. This VR-5 Zone is designed for older neighborhoods to allow transition of larger houses from owner-occupied to rental-occupied without creating overcrowding or detrimental conditions to the neighborhood's environment and to allow economical new construction in such neighborhoods, and for new areas appropriate for medium-density single-family and multifamily housing.
B.
The classification of an area as a Mixed Residential Zone must depend on adequate municipal services, including streets, water and sewer facilities. (Authorized density: five units to 10 units per acre depending on site conditions.)
§ 980-47 Permitted uses.
This VR-5 Zone shall specifically permit single-family, two-family, three-family and four-family housing units. The VR-5 Zone regulations require 6,000 square feet for the first unit and 3,000 square feet for each additional unit. All other uses allowed in the VR-1 Zone shall be automatically allowed in the VR-5 Zone.
