The RM-1 Multiple-Family Residential Low Rise District is designed
to provide sites for multiple-family dwelling structures, and related
uses, which will generally serve as zones of transition between the
nonresidential districts or major thoroughfares and lower density
single-family districts. The Multiple-Family District is further provided
to serve the limited needs for the apartment type of unit in an otherwise
medium-density, single-family community.
In the RM-1 District, no building or land, except as otherwise
provided in this chapter, shall be erected or used except for one
or more of the following specified purposes and shall be permitted,
subject to the review and approval of the site plan by the Planning
Commission. Such review of the site plan is required to find proper
relationships between the following development features as they relate
to traffic safety, and further, to minimize the possibility of any
adverse effects upon adjacent properties: service roads, driveways,
parking areas; accessory buildings and uses and open space.
A. All uses permitted in the R1-A and R-1 and R-2 Residential Districts,
subject to the applicable requirements of those districts.
B. Multiple-family dwellings (two stories or less).
C. Accessory buildings and uses customarily incident to any of the permitted
uses set forth in this section.
The following conditions, where applicable, shall apply to all
uses permitted in this district.

be subject to the applicable requirements of the R-1, R-1A and R-2
Districts.
