A.    The R-4 residential zone has been established as a district in which the primary use of the land is for multi-family residential purposes but in which office buildings and certain other uses of a semicommercial nature may be located. In general, this district serves as a transitional zone between the commercial zone. Since this zone is essentially residential in character, office buildings, rest homes, mortuaries, parking lots and other transitional uses must be developed and maintained in harmony with the residential uses. While a greater amount of automobile traffic and automobile parking is characteristic of this zone, attractive lawns, trees, shrubs, both on the street and around the building, is also characteristic of this zone.

    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-4 residential zone. (PZSC § 03-22-001)
