EXAMPLE: LDR (Low Density Residential) Density 5 -10 units per acre Height Low rise, not to exceed 3 stories Structure Type Detached single family housing (unless PUD) includes zero lot -line) Character Compatible with surrounding neighborhood Location: Where predominant today, covering most areas of the City Policy direction Protect the character of single family neighborhoods by infilling at compatible densities and focusing higher intensity land uses in designated centers and corridors. Discussion The city's residential neighborhoods are characterized by low -rise (1 to 3 stories), detached homes on traditional urban lots. Some attached housing may be appropriate to respond to the development- sensitive conditions. It may be produced through planned unit development, but should also be low -rise. To maintain the traditional character of residential districts that are mostly developed, new residential projects should be built at compatible densities. Efficient delivery of urban services is best achieved at densities such as those found in West Bremerton between Callow and the Narrows. This area is characterized by a formal grid street pattern that defines the most strongly urban platting within the City. The average residential density here approaches seven units per acre.
