The RM-2 Multiple-Family Residential Districts (High Rise) are
designed to provide sites for high density multiple dwelling structures
adjacent to high traffic generators commonly found in the proximity
of Central Business Districts and areas abutting major thoroughfares.
The district is further designed to provide for the convenience needs
of persons living in the apartments with central services. This district
is further designed so as to provide a zone of transition between
these major thoroughfares and high traffic generators and other residential
districts through the requirements of lower coverage which, in turn,
will result in more open space.
