§ 138-386. R-5, Urban Residential District.  


Latest version.
  • The R-5, Urban Residential District provides for areas where the development of small-lot, detached single-family, two-family and three-family dwellings and townhouses are appropriate. The district is intended to allow compact, urban-style dwelling units typically comprised of smaller living spaces on smaller lots.

    The R-5 district should be located in or near urbanized areas where sufficient transportation facilities and urban infrastructure are readily available. The district is also intended for properties in and around established urban residential neighborhoods that are planned to accommodate infill redevelopment. The district facilitates compact infill redevelopment by allowing housing types with small lots and minor structural setbacks. This district shall include all areas indicated on the zoning atlas maps as R-5.

    R-5 residential neighborhoods should be developed around and incorporate common open space areas such as parks and courtyards.
