The "R-T" Townhome Residential District is intended for the purpose of allowing townhome/medium- to high-density multi-family dwellings that are intended for ownership by the inhabitants. The North Dakota Century Code Chapter 47-04.1, Condominium Ownership of Real Property, defines the requirements for the mapping of common-wall properties. That code is incorporated by reference.
