The RU — Residential Urban Districts are designed
to accommodate high-density development and a range of housing types.
Area suitability is based on direct access to a collector roadway
with carrying capacity to handle existing and future traffic, availability
of public water and sewer, existing development patterns, and growth
potential. A range of options are provided to develop residential
communities of various styles and densities, to promote greenways,
and to protect natural resources.
