These districts allow a wide range of uses from Commercial to Multifamily to Single Family at 3.5 units per acre. The proposed use is a single-family structure on a small lot in some cases in a unique set up. There are three basic setups which would include the following: 1. Units on 31' foot wide lots with rear entry detached garages on a private alley. 2. Units on 40' wide lots with front entry attached garages. 3. Units on 40' wide lots with front entry detached garages. These units will normally serve two segments of the population. These group are single/couple first-time house buyers or empty nesters that are downsizing. The outdoor living spaces for 1 and 3 units are between the garage and house while 2 units would be in the back yard. Because of the narrowness of the lots, wider streets are provided to allow for easier traversing of the streets when parking occurs on both sides. These lots will also address one of the Strategic Plan Goals of the City which is to Diversify Housing & Neighborhood Options.
