The Townhome District will provide for development of attached residential dwelling units in structures accommodating three to nine units. This district is a high density district, not to exceed ten units per acre. The standards in this district are intended to promote stable, quality multiple occupancy residential development at increased densities. Individual ownership of the Townhome units is encouraged. Multiple townhome units may be constructed on a single lot, or on adjacent individual lots. Other uses, such as religious and educational facilities, parks, and open spaces will be provided for to maintain a balanced, orderly, convenient, and attractive residential area. This zoning district is appropriate in areas designated as high density residential on the Future Land Use Plan. Limited amounts of this district may also be appropriate in areas designated as Tollway Corridor or US 380 Adjacency Corridor on the Future Land Use Plan.
