e has Multi-Residential Development where intensity is measured by floor area ratio to provide flexibility in building form and Dwelling Unit size and number;

f allows for varied building height and front setback areas in a manner that reflects the immediate context;

g is in close proximity to, or adjacent to, low density residential development;

h is typically located at community nodes or transit and transportation corridors and nodes;
