R-4 High Density Residential District: PURPOSE OF THIS DISTRICT
The purpose of this District is to provide areas for the development of higher density multiple family (i.e.,
two or more) residential uses with adequate, usable open space to prevent overcrowding. It is the intent
of this Ordinance that these Districts be carefully located only in areas where the infrastructure of the County (i.e., the street/highway system, storm drainage and water and sanitary sewer systems) is
adequate to serve such higher density housing. The use of this District is appropriate as a transition
between low density (R-1) or moderate density (R-3 and R-4) residential Districts and higher intensity
uses, such as commercial uses or limited industrial (I-1) uses, that are not compatible with lower density
residential environment. All apartment or condominium developments shall front upon at least or be
directly accessed from one street or highway that is classified as a Principal Arterials or Minor Arterials on
the Transportation Plan Element of the adopted Hinds County Comprehensive Plan.
All multiple-family residential uses shall be properly landscaped and screened from other uses and access/egress to apartment or condominium complexes shall be provided in accordance with Article XXI
of this Ordinance.
