Multifamily Residential - Low (MF-L). Multifamily Residential - Low zones are located along major arterials and transit routes, close to shopping, public facilities and services, and in areas of existing lower density residential development. In the MF-L zone, a maximum building height of 45 feet is allowed. A base density of 35 dwelling units per acre is allowed through the design standard review process, when a project is designed consistent with the multifamily design standards and guidelines adopted by reference in Chapter 19.53 UPMC. Density may be increased to a maximum of 40 units per acre when an affordable housing component is included in a development. Uses allowed in the MF-L zone include multifamily housing, attached and detached single-family/duplex housing, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, mobile and manufactured housing, adult family homes, Level I group homes, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, schools, public and private parks, community centers, family day care, religious assembly, appropriate home occupations, and distribution and collection utilities. Compliance with design standards is required and screening, buffers, open space, landscaping, and other design elements shall be incorporated into all development to mitigate adverse impacts that may be associated with the transition between different densities and land uses. Pedestrian sidewalks, trails and bicycle facilities shall be provided for access to schools, shopping, services, and recreational facilities. 4.
