LAST AMENDED
2/2/2011


In addition to any #use# modifications which may be granted under the provisions of Section 105-701 (Applicability of large-
scale residential development regulations), the City Planning Commission may permit #semi-detached# or #attached# #single-
family residences# in R2 Districts and #attached# #single-# or #two-family residences# in R3-1 Districts.

Furthermore, except in the #Special Natural Area District#-1 (NA-1), the Commission may permit #semi-detached# or
#attached# #single-family residences# in R1-2 Districts provided that the #development# or #enlargement# is on a tract of land
of at least four acres, and provided the Commission finds that:

(a)   the preservation of #natural features# requires the permitted #development# to be concentrated to the extent feasible in
       the remaining portion of the tract;
(b)    for such concentration of #development#, better standards of privacy and usable #open space# can be and are achieved
        under the development plan by inclusion of the proposed #residential building# types;

(c)    the change of housing type constitutes the most effective method of preserving #natural features#;

(d)    the #aggregate width of street walls# of a number of #residential buildings# separated by party walls shall not exceed 100
        feet;

(e)    the proposed #street# system for the tract of land to be #developed# is so located as to draw a minimum of vehicular
        traffic to and through #streets# in the adjacent area; and

(f)   the existing topography, vegetation and proposed planting effectively screen all #attached# #single-family residences#
       from the #lot lines# along the perimeter of the tract of land to be #developed#.
