400.290; Ord. No. 054-87 § VII, 10-21-1987; Ord. No. 795-12 §

[Ord. No. 878-17 § 1, 7-19-2017]
The intent of this Article is to provide an alternative residential
zone to zones "R-1" and "R-2" in order to permit flexibility in building
types and arrangements that would not be possible in "R-1" and "R-2";
encourage a creative approach to the use of land and related physical
facilities that results in better development and design to preserve
existing site topography, major tree cover and natural water features
on and adjacent to the development to the extent reasonably possible;
and contribute to the City's urban design, with particular attention
to abutting neighborhoods and roadway systems under conditions of
approved site and development plans.
