§ 0.1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The regulations set forth in this article are the regulations of the R-5 planned infill multiple family dwelling district (PIM). These regulations are established with the purpose of providing modern, imaginative and site-appropriate opportunities for architectural design, site arrangement and city planning for certain areas and parcels of land within the city. Utilization of this zoning district is intended to facilitate the development of vacant or underutilized parcels of land that are typically surrounded by a mixture of existing and viable developments. These parcels may be suitable and appropriate for multiple family land uses, but cannot be developed under the provisions of the R-4 planned multiple family dwelling district due to one or more of the following issues: small size, unique character, unusual shape, topographic limitations or inappropriate zoning. These parcels of land shall be identified and established by the board of aldermen by ordinance and approval of a preliminary site development plan after a report and recommendation from the zoning commission in accordance with article XXIII, amendments of the city zoning ordinance.
