[R.O. 2012 §405.185]
The purpose of this district is to provide for a mix of higher
density residential options including single-family dwellings, two-family
dwellings (duplexes), condominiums and garden apartments along with
educational, recreational and religious facilities necessary to support
a balanced residential community. In addition to increasing residential
options, the variety of uses permitted within this district allows
for greater flexibility in the establishment of smooth transitions
from more to less intensive land uses. Ideally, a hierarchy of land
use relationships may be created both within and without the district,
effectively "stepping down" from intensively used commercial/industrial
areas ("B-1"; "B-2"; "I-1") through apartment/condominium, duplex
and higher density single-family uses within "R-3" Districts to lower
density residential zones ("R-1", "R-2"). To reduce the potential
of traffic congestion on the local street network, "R-3" Districts
should include substantial frontage on collector roads and may include
frontage on arterial streets. Given the relative density of development,
care should be exercised to provide ready access to substantial common
areas and/or public parks assuring adequate light, air, and open space
for residential uses.
[R.O. 2012 §405.190]
