2. Make available housing for persons who desire both convenience of location and a reasonable amount of usable open space;
3. Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air;
4. Permit the construction of residential structures, such as dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses, boarding and rooming houses, which meet City requirements for this type of housing; and
5. Permit the construction of specialized care and treatment facilities such as senior congregate housing, nursing homes, and hospitals when such are not detrimental to the immediate neighborhood.
B. Allowed Land Uses. See Table 23.202-1: Allowed Land Uses in Residential Districts.
C. Additional Permit Requirements. See Subsection A of Section 23.202.030 (Residential Additions) and Subsection B of Section 23.202.030 (Adding Bedrooms).
