The intent of the Residential districts is to promote and protect residential neighborhoods within the character of the Urban Neighborhood Context. These regulations allow for some multi-unit districts, but not to such an extent as to detract from the overall image and character of the residential neighborhood. B. The building form standards, design standards, and uses work together to promote desirable residential areas. The standards of the single unit districts accommodate the pattern of one to two and a half story urban house forms where the narrow part of the building orients to the street and access is from alley loaded garages. Lot sizes are consistent within an area and lot coverage is typically medium to high accommodating a consistent front and side yard. There are single unit districts that allow detached accessory dwelling units in the rear yard, maintaining the single unit character at the street. The standards of the two unit and row house districts promote existing and future patterns of lower scale multi unit building forms that address the street in the same manner as an urban house building form. C. These standards recognize common residential characteristics within the Urban Neighborhood Context but accommodate variation by providing eleven Residential Zone Districts. 5.2-2 | DENVER ZONING CODE June 25, 2010 | Republished February 25, 2025
