This district is intended to provide locations primarily for multiple-family housing, with supporting and appropriate community facilities. It also permits some nonresidential uses, such as offices, through a special use permit procedure, to permit the development of mixed-use neighborhoods. The R-4 Multiple-Family Residential District is appropriately used in areas designated by the Papillion Comprehensive Plan as high-density residential, neighborhood mixed use, MU-1 (mixed use), City Center, or urban corridor.

NOTES:
* Corner lots bordered by two arterial streets shall maintain full front yard setbacks on both arterials.
** The minimum site area per housing unit for attached units is 3,000 square feet.
*** The minimum lot width for any townhouse lot sold individually is 25 feet.
Note 1: Flexible yard setbacks in planned unit development districts. The Planning Commission and City Council may vary required minimum setbacks in planned unit development districts. Along arterials designated in the City's Comprehensive Development Plan, the Public Works Director may require a deeper front yard setback.
Note 2: Large project special use permit. The large project special use permit requirement applies to projects of sufficient size or scale to require public comment and individual review by the Planning Commission and City Council. All projects that meet or exceed the large project special use permit size threshold shall require approval of a special use permit, following the procedures set forth in § 205-302 of this chapter, unless they are located within and included within the development plans of an MU or PUD District.
Within a common development, interior side yard setbacks may be equal to zero for single-family detached or townhouse residential uses, provided that:
A. 
The normal side yard setback requirement must be maintained adjacent to any lot with an existing structure not within the common development or not otherwise designated for zero-lot-line use.
B. 
An easement for maintenance of the zero-lot-line facade is prepared by the developer and filed with the Sarpy County Register of Deeds, the City Clerk, and the Building Official at the time of application for a building permit.
