The purpose of this district is primarily intended to accommodate
a wider variety of housing types and more intensive land use than
the R-M District, while also allowing for some neighborhood-serving
businesses and services. This district preserves the higher-density
household character of the existing neighborhoods, by permitting a
range of compatible residential dwellings including all forms of housing,
parks, schools, places of worship, and other supportive services that
are at an appropriate neighborhood scale. Additionally, this district
permits some neighborhood-oriented retail and service businesses.
[Amended 5-16-2011 by Ord. No. 880]
