A.
Because
of major roadways within the City residential developments along corridor
locations require additional buffering and landscaping. Therefore,
smaller lot sizes and a greater range of dwelling unit types are provided
in the Suburban Low "SL" and the Suburban Medium "SM" Districts. The
higher density development provided for in these two (2) districts
is restricted to tracts of land in corridor locations only.
B.
The
Suburban Low District is intended to provide low density development
in corridor locations only. It provides for a greater range of dwelling
unit types and for more flexible types of design in order to permit
residential development of a low intensity near major roads.
C.
The
Suburban Medium District is intended to provide for moderate density
residential development in corridor locations only. Development standards
recognize the need to insure adequate buffering and landscaping with
the opportunity to select the dwelling unit type most suitable to
the constraints of the site.
[Ord. No. 1076 §§1 — 7, 1-27-1987; Ord. No. 1345 §1(10100), 11-13-1989]
