These residential districts are intended to promote and encourage the establishment and maintenance of a suitable environment for urban residence in areas appropriate by location and character for occupancy by high density, multiple-family dwellings. One of the important purposes of this district is to create adequate standards of residential development in order to prevent overcrowded and unhealthy housing conditions. The intensity of land use should not be so great as to cause congestion of building or traffic or to preclude the amenities of good housing. Densities should be limited to provide adequate light, air, and usable open space for dwellings and functional space for all related facilities.
No new R-4 high density residential district may be created which contains less than four acres. (Zoning ordinance Art. 4, § 4).

(4) Lot Width. Lot width is the same as for the R-3 district.
(a) The lot area requirement for single- and two-family dwellings shall be in accordance with the R-3 district.
(b) For multiple-family structures of one and two stories, the lot area requirements shall be not less than 6,000 square feet plus an additional 1,500 square feet for each dwelling unit.
