A. District Purpose. The purpose of the Residential Southside (R-S) district is to:

1. Implement General Plan and Southside Plan policy by encouraging relatively high and moderate-density, multi-story residential development close to major shopping, transportation, and employment centers;

2. Make housing available for persons who desire a convenient location with relatively small amounts of usable open space, yet assure adequate light, air, privacy and usable open space to promote and protect their physical and mental health;

3. Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air;

4. Permit the construction of residential structures, such as apartments, and residential hotels, which will provide housing opportunities for transient or seasonal residents;

5. Encourage the construction of new housing on vacant properties and surface parking lots;

6. Encourage the redevelopment of single-story structures that are not historically significant resources with more dense housing development; and

7. Protect and enhance historically and architecturally significant buildings by ensuring that new development and alterations complement their existing architectural character.

B. Allowed Land Uses. See Table 23.202-1: Allowed Land Uses in Residential Districts.

C. Additional Permit Requirements. See Section 23.202.030.A--Additional Permit Requirements (Residential Additions).
