Residential zones are established to provide for the establishment of residential districts of varying population densities that are compatible within each category for the purpose of people living permitted therein, including the necessary appurtenant and accessory facilities and uses associated with such living areas. The intent and purpose of the individual residential zone districts are as follows:

A. Low Density Residential Zone (LDR). The Low Density Residential Zone accommodates detached and attached residential units, including small-lot subdivisions, duplexes and triplexes, townhouses with private open space, and lower-density multi-unit structures that comprise a cohesive development incorporating common open space areas, and that are developed at a maximum density of 15 units per acre. Additional uses necessary and incidental to single-family development shall also be permitted.

B. Medium Density Residential Zone (MDR). The Medium Density Residential Zone allows for a variety of housing types at varying heights and densities, but not to exceed a maximum density of 25 units per acre. The Medium Density Residential Zone accommodates single structures or a collection of cohesive structures that house multiple units, with common open space areas and amenities. Residential development types may include row houses, townhouses, stacked flats, apartments, and similar housing types. Also permitted are uses accessory to the principal permitted residential uses.

C. High Density Residential Zone (HDR). The High Density Residential designation provides for higher-density, multi-story residential development, with a focus on providing an urban intensity and function at locations within easy walking distance to transit, recreation and community facilities, employment centers, and commercial services. Multi-story structures have creative common areas and centrally located parking. The housing types can occur as row houses, townhomes, or stacked flats. The maximum permitted density is 40 units per acre. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
