§ 17.14.010. Purpose.

This is a medium density residential zone that allows a mix of single-family, two-family/duplexes, multi-family dwellings at a density greater than single-family neighborhoods but less than the higher densities of the RHD Zone. The permitted uses in the RMD Zone are also intended to be more restrictive than the RHD Zone. Commercial uses are not considered to be compatible. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses. This zone provides for variety in the urban land use pattern for the City's lower density multi-family residential neighborhoods (at twice the density of the City's basic single-family residential neighborhoods) with direct access on an arterial street, usually located in outlying areas with large tracts of vacant buildable land, and serving as a transitional use between low density residential uses and commercial/industrial uses.
