12.13.100 Intent in Rai multiple residence districts. The
principal objective a.nd purpose to be served by the F?I� classifi-
cation and its application is to establish areas permitting a
greater population density than is allowed in more restrictive
classifications, while at the same time, maintaining a residential
environment consistent with such greater population density. By
establishing two RM districts it is intended to allow both a choice
of density to potential residents and a more intensive use of
certain smaller parcels. It is also the purpose of this classifi-
cation to mare it possible to more efficiently and economically
design and install all physical pub lic,service facilities in terms
of size and capacity to adequately and permanently meet needs re-
sulting from a defined intensity of land use. (Ord. 1074 (part),
1964).
12.13.110 Pri-ar,; uses in Ry districts. In an RM zone only
the following primary uses are permitted and, as hereinafter
specifically provided and allowed by this section, subject to the
off-street parking requirements and the general provisions and
exceptions set forth in this title:
(a) Multiple family dwellings; apartments, cooperatives,
condominiums;
