2.5, S-MU-3, 5, 8, 12, 20) 3.2.2.1 General Purpose A. The intent of the Residential districts is to promote and protect residential neighborhoods within the character of the Suburban 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 promote a consistent pattern of one to two story suburban houses where the wider part of the building orients to the street and access is provided by front-loaded garages. While lot sizes vary, lot coverage is typically low creating generous setbacks and yard space. The standards of the row house and multi unit districts promote existing and future patterns of multiple buildings on a single Zone Lot. These building forms include duplex, row house and apartments sometimes organized around common open space and parking areas with an internal circulation system. C. These standards recognize common residential characteristics within the Suburban Neighborhood Context but accommodate variation by providing a range of Residential Zone Districts. D. The regulations provide a consistent framework to property owners, developers, and neighborhood residents to reinforce desired development patterns, encourage affordable housing, and accommodate reinvestment in residential districts. E. These Residential districts capture parts of the city typically platted and developed in the mid- to late 1900s. 3.2.2.2 Specific Intent A. Single Unit A (S-SU-A)
