UR/D

It is the purpose of the Urban Residential (UR) District to provide a residential density transition zone between low density single family neighborhoods and higher density commercial areas. An additional purpose of the UR Districts is to encourage a range of housing choices within walking distance of rail transit stations and mixed use urban villages. The goal is to ensure compatibility between one-and-two family districts and more intense mixed-use districts and related uses. UR neighborhoods are characterized by higher density residential structures in a highly walkable urban environment. A mixture of housing types is present to provide architectural diversity, while shallow setbacks frame the pedestrian environment with engaging building facades, improve visibility and safety of building entrances, and increase neighborhood vitality. And it is the purpose of the high density multifamily (D) district to provide a specific zone for high density multifamily development. In adopting multifamily design development regulations, it is also the intent of the City Council to encourage the most appropriate uses of land; to encourage higher quality design and materials; to provide safe and improved access to the public walkways, to install street trees and enhanced landscaping along the public walkways to improve the pedestrian environment; and to provide criteria for development of land zoned for multifamily dwelling use.
