B. 
The residential district names and map symbols are intended to provide a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting the intensity, scale, and/or type of uses permitted.
A. 
Low Density Residential (LDR) District. The purpose of the LDR District is to permit the construction of larger-lot single-family developments that do not compromise the existing pedestrian-friendly setting of the Village. Churchville's neighborhoods are typically characterized by sidewalks, streetlighting, street trees, and garages located at the side or rear portions of the lots. The intent of the LDR District is to allow for lower-density residential development while ensuring the preservation and continuation of the traditional development pattern of neighborhoods as identified in the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
B. 
Traditional Village Residential (TVR) District. The purpose of the TVR District is to preserve and enhance the existing traditional residential settlement pattern of the Village. Churchville's traditional neighborhoods predominantly consist of single-family dwellings on smaller, varied lots with sidewalks, streetlighting, street trees, and garages located to the rear of the property. These neighborhood design elements create visually interesting, engaging, and walkable environments for residents. The intent of this district is to ensure that future development and investment is consistent with the traditional Village settlement pattern and the recommendations of the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
C. 
Mixed Density Residential (MDR) District. The purpose of the MDR District is to provide for a greater variety of housing choice that is compatible with the Village's established residential areas. These neighborhoods may contain a mix of single- or two-family homes, townhouses, and multifamily dwellings that provide a suitable transition between existing single-family neighborhoods and the Village's activity centers. Developments within this district should reflect the traditional character and walkability of the Village and provide for a variety of housing types and densities as identified in the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
