The principal objective and purpose to be served by this classification and its application is to establish areas permitting a greater population density than is allowed in more restrictive classifications and to permit the providing of accommodations for those who desire to live in a residential atmosphere without the necessity to individually maintain a dwelling unit. A related consideration is to make it possible to more efficiently and economically design and install all physical public service facilities in terms of size and capacity to adequately and permanently meet needs resulting from a defined intensity of land use.
