The purpose of the "R-4", medium-high density residential district is to provide for
medium to high density housing in multiple family structures of 13 or more units per
building, and at densities of between 10 and 25 units per acre. The district is intended to
establish higher density residential opportunities in areas appropriate for such housing,
including those areas with access to commercial and/or medical services, higher capacity
transportation facilities, and other adequate public services including park and pathway
access. The City of Monticello shall zone land to the R-4 District only when, in its sole
discretion, all aspects of the property support the potential uses of the R-4 district,
including location, private and public services, and compatibility with existing and future
land uses in the area. This district is intended to provide exclusively multiple family
housing as defined in this ordinance, as opposed to lower density housing types such as
townhouses, two-family homes, or single family homes.
Minimum and Maximum Density: 10 — 25 dwelling units per acre
