The purpose of the Intermediate Density Residential Zone is
to provide areas within the City which have the capacity to accommodate
single-family dwellings in conventional subdivisions or planned unit
developments. These areas are intended for service by municipal utilities
and urban type street systems, and, consequently, the residents must
be willing to support the costs associated with this density of development.
Certain public facilities and other nonresidential uses are permitted
when desirable conditions and safeguards are satisfied. This zone
includes those areas in Hammond that were in Hammond's Low Density
Residential Zone (R-10).
The following uses and their accessory uses are permitted in the R-10 zone if the Community Development Director determines that the uses conform to the standards in Sections
16.28.040 through
