Statement of purpose and policy. This district
permits the same uses and density as the R-5 District. However, in
order to encourage attractive design and to minimize site coverage
for developments with both a mix of housing types and an emphasis
on nontownhouse condominiums, some of the bulk requirements such as
height of structures and the size of individual buildings are less
restrictive than the R-5 Zone. Since these changes are likely to result
in buildings slightly higher or larger than are appropriate for R-5
areas, the placing of this R-5B District on the Zoning Map is restricted
to qualifying sites that do not adjoin developed R-1, R-2, R-3, R-3A
and R-4 Districts.
