11.35.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the high density residential (R-3) zone is to provide for a higher intensity residential area that integrates certain low intensity, nonresidential uses. The intent is to provide transition in land use from quiet single-family residential neighborhoods to areas where nonresidential services are provided. These areas are urban in character and contain a full range of public services and facilities. These zones are appropriate where transit service is likely to develop in the future, or where employment and commercial centers are located nearby. The average density in this zone is 15 dwelling units per net acre, with a maximum density of 22 dwellings per net acre. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.061, 2001).
11.35.020 Uses.
Table 11.15.020 describes uses which are permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited in the R-3 zone. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.062, 2001).
