SECTION 300.14. R-5 HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. Share Download Bookmark Print 1. Purpose. The purpose of the R-5 district is to provide a district for multiple family dwelling units in those areas designated for high density residential development in the comprehensive plan. Development within this district shall occur at densities greater than 12 dwelling units per acre. The allowed density for a piece of property will be determined by the city at the time of the development application. The determination will be based upon the site specific characteristics of the property and the requested development. Factors to be considered in increasing or decreasing the allowed density include the existing environmental conditions such as wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, and significant trees; the specific site plan; the type of housing units proposed, including whether greater density is desirable because the development contains affordable housing that is consistent with the city’s affordable housing goals but that avoids unacceptable concentrations of such housing; the requested zoning; the minimum standards of this ordinance; the potential impact from traffic generated by the development; and the surrounding area. The burden of establishing the appropriateness of the high end of the density range will be on the applicant. Share Download Bookmark Print 2. Permitted Uses.
