In addition to the change in density,the MR-5 district uses the dimensional saridards from**current R5 disvict to minimize tfie creation of nonconformities.11-te lot coverage fimtw ns are irXTened 20%in recognition of new open space standards. A new height limit of 55 feet is proposed(to allow for three and four-story buildirgs). In terms of zero lot line development,the MRmS district removes minimum lot area requiremerm in favor of gross derdty and de smtainabil'icy incentives will allow exva height and density.
