Sec. 24.1-326. RMF-Multi-family residential
district.
(a) Statement of intent. The RMF district is intended for application
in those areas designated for multi-family/general residential development by the
comprehensive plan. In accordance with direction provided by the plan, this district is
designed to provide opportunities for higher density living arrangements with an
orientation toward the rental market but not to the exclusion of single-family attached,
owner-occupied housing types. As a high density development, this district can be expected
to generate very intensive demands on public services and facilities and should be located
accordingly. However, senior housing, which
is permitted by special use permit, can be expected to generate lesser
demands on most public facilities and services than would otherwise be
the case on a per-unit basis for traditional general market
multi-family development. Therefore, as set out in section
24.1-411, opportunities are provided for the board of supervisors to
authorize, on a case-by-case basis, the development of such senior
housing projects at a higher density level than that applicable to
general market multi-family residential development.
(b) Dimensional standards. Each lot created or used shall be subject to
the following dimensional standards:
