The titles of the districts have been created to be
as informational as possible. For example, in the case of the R1-20
District, the "R" refers to Residence, the "1" refers to one-family,
and the "20" refers to the minimum required lot area of 20,000 square
feet. In multifamily residence districts, the maximum permitted floor
area ratio (FAR) is the descriptive term used to indicate the differing
characteristics among districts. For example in the case of the RMF-0.4
District, the "RMF" refers to multifamily residence and the "0.4"
represents the floor area ratio regulation which is used to control
the density of development. The numbering following the Planned Waterfront
Development District name refers to the height of the structure in
stories.
