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.
