c) Urban Multiple and Business - Medium Density (UMB -M) The medium range density residential land use is identified as UMB -M. High density single family clusters, townhouses, smaller multiple family structures, and an occasional medium - rise apartment structure at low densities are all expected to be developed within these areas. In large developments, a variety of housing types and densities willl be encouraged rather than adhering to uniform buildings spaced evenly through- out the site. The following criteria and guidelines should be applied when establishing the locations for UMB -M areas as well as in the site planning. . Units Per Acre: . Type of Dwelling Unit: - Medium density residential, offices, and retail with PUD. . Minimum Lot Size: Locational Criteria: UMB - M Guidelines and Criteria 44 - Six to 15 units per gross acre 3,000 - 7,000 gross square feet per unit). - 10,800 square feet for single family detached without PUD. - 6,000 square feet for single family with PUD. - 3,000 square feet for multi- family - Must abut and have reasonably direct access to Intermediate Arterials, Minor Arterials, and Collectors. - Must be located on a periphery of subneighborhoods. - The use of medium density- residential development as a buffer between business, industry, thoroughfares, etc. and single family development will be discouraged. Rather, accessibility, open space, and increased setback from these adverse site features should be stressed. - Clustering of units in areas of the site away from adverse site features; and, utilizing open space for landscape buffering, recreation areas and parking facilities should be utilized as techniques fo decreasing the impact on living units.
