A.    The R-3 residential zone covers the portion of the City which is primarily suited for residential development represented by the commingling of one (1) family, two (2) family and multiple-family dwellings, plus parks, playgrounds, schools, churches and other community facilities designed to serve the residents of the zone. This zone is characterized by a more compact and somewhat denser residential development than in the R-1 and R-2 zones. Owners and developers of property within this zone should bear in mind that primacy is given to multiple unit housing development and maintain their properties in recognition thereof.

    B.    In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this chapter and to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of this zone, the following regulations shall apply in the R-3 residential zone. (PZSC § 03-21-001)
