The purposes of an R-M Zoning District are:

To provide areas for low-, medium-, and high-density residential living in accordance with locations shown on the General Plan, which offer a variety of dwelling types;
2.

An R-M Zoning District may be established and combined with any other zoning district of the City where it is determined that the lots or parcels within such district are compatible with a residential manufactured housing use.
