Sec. 2. Residential districts.

2.1 General purpose. The residential districts, established by this chapter, are designated to promote and protect the health, safety, convenience, order, property and other aspects of the general welfare. The general goals include, among others, the following more specific purposes:

(1) Protect the positive aspects of neighborhood character throughout the city.

(2) Assure adequate land allocation for residential purposes by providing lots of adequate size.

(3) Stabilize property values and maintain the integrity of neighborhoods by protecting residential neighborhoods from non-residential influences and providing buffers between residential and non-residential uses.

(4) Assure safety of neighborhoods through the design of streets that discourages through-traffic in residential neighborhoods and by excluding from them those uses that generate non-residential traffic.

(5) Encourage the development of a variety of housing types appropriate to the size and income of all households living and working in the city.

(6) Allow an increase to medium or high density residential use when land value prevents economical development of low density residential rather than allow the loss of residential uses altogether.
