Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent of the R-7 Single- and
Two-Family Urban Residential District is to preserve and enhance the established character
of older urban residential neighborhoods in the inner areas of the City. The district
regulations are designed to reflect the urban nature of such neighborhoods as characterized
by a mixture of detached and attached single- and two-family dwellings situated on
small lots with narrow yards and modest setbacks. The district regulations, together
with the supplemental regulations of this chapter, are intended to encourage continued
improvement and efficient use of existing residential buildings and their accessory
structures, while ensuring that infill development will be compatible with the established
character.
