- These zones are regulated by zoning laws to ensure that residential buildings meet specific density, height, and setback requirements to maintain neighborhood character and quality of life.
2. Types of R-zones:
- Low-Density Residential (R1-R5): Lower density developments such as detached or semi-detached single-family homes, townhouses, and low-rise apartment buildings.
- Medium-Density Residential (R6-R9): Medium-density residential development, including mid-rise apartment buildings and mixed-use buildings with residential units above ground-floor commercial spaces.
- High-Density Residential (R10): R10 zones are the highest density residential zones, allowing for high-rise apartment buildings and mixed-use developments with a greater number of residential units per lot area.
