AUTO-ORIENTED RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY

This designation is also a subset of Auto-Oriented Residential. Areas and properties with this character are devoted
primarily to structures with multiple residential units, at a greater intensity (i.e., units per building or acre) than typically
found in developments with other attached residential housing types. The auto-oriented character is usually due to the
extent of off-street parking needed. The auto-oriented appearance can be softened by perimeter and on-site landscaping,
minimum spacing between buildings, site coverage limits, and on-site recreation or open space criteria. This designation
can also provide a transition from primarily residential to mainly nonresidential areas. Multi-family uses designed primarily
for senior and disabled residents are especially appropriate near medical facilities, parks, public services, shopping, and
transit stops, and all demographics benefit when apartments are near such amenities.

Primary Land Use Types

Example Proportions
• Multi-unit residential buildings in concentrated development, whether for rent of Auto Urban Character
(apartments) or ownership (condominiums). Elements
• Other attached residential forms (e.g., duplexes, townhomes, patio homes, etc.) as
permitted in zoning districts intended primarily for multi-family residential uses.
• Planned developments that may integrate a mix of detached, attached and multi-
family housing types, but with insufficient green and open space to achieve an overall
Suburban character.

Characteristics
As a subset of the Auto-Oriented Residential category, Auto-Oriented Residential Multi-
Family has the same characteristics.
Where on Map

• Auto-Oriented Residential Multi-Family is shown in multiple locations including along County Line Road just east of
Santa Fe Drive, at the west end of the city near Mineral Avenue, and at the north end along Belleview Avenue near
Progress Park.
