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.
