The intent of this district is to provide for a variety of housing types and compatible, related uses at a moderate to high density of residential development. The primary housing form is multi-unit dwellings. These types of dwellings typically provide common open space and provide housing options with certain accessory uses such as parks, laundry facilities, and garages, among others. Housing developed within this district should have the same degree of living quality expected from any other residential district. Uses within this district should be sensitive to adjacent uses. Building size and form should be compatible to the size and form of neighboring districts and adjacent buildings, so as to enhance the available housing options of local residents without disrupting the continuity and character of existing neighborhoods. This district should be well-integrated into the surrounding community, functioning as a transitional zone between single-family residential uses and higher intensity uses.
