(I) R-4: Medium-High Density Residence District
Section 3.4 (I)
R-4 Medium-High Density Residence District
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
Maximum Base Density:
1,750 sq. ft. per unit (25 units per acre)
Maximum Density through Planned Unit
Development:
1,750 sq. ft. per unit (25 units per acre)
