R-3 Zoning

R-3 zoning allows multi-family residential development — typically apartment buildings, condominiums, and townhome clusters with three or more units — representing a significant increase in allowable density from two-family zones. The transition to R-3 generally permits taller buildings, smaller minimum lot areas per dwelling unit, and higher lot coverage than lower-density residential zones. Development standards in R-3 zones are calibrated to accommodate the larger building footprints and greater residential intensity of multi-family construction.
