Title

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING R-T (TOWNHOUSE) ZONE for the purpose of amending the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for apartment housing for elderly or handicapped families in the R-T (Townhouse) Zone.

Background

Apartment housing for elderly or handicapped families is permitted in some residential zones subject to approval of a special exception. The Zoning Ordinance currently permits this use in the R-T (Townhouse) Zone subject to special exception approval and with certain acreage and locational requirements for the property on which the use will be located.  This legislation removes the property criteria requirements allowing the use on any property classified in the R-T (Townhouse) Zone subject to special exception approval.
