These are districts in which several garden apartments or high-rise apartment buildings may be erected on large tracts. Since more than one structure may occupy the lot, conventional yard and height limitations are not imposed and formulas are used to provide for adequate spacing between buildings. The differences in these 4 districts are in the intensity of development permitted in each.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:R14, R15, R16Enumerated Domain Value Definition:Multilpe Housing Districts--In these districts, one structure for single-family, two-family, or multiple-family occupancy is permitted on a lot. These apartment districts may be distinguished from Group Housing Districts (R11 through R13) because in Multiple Housing Districts, yard area requirements are designed to regulate only one principal building on a lot.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:R17, R18, R19Enumerated Domain Value Definition:Coversion Districts--In these districts, regulations permit the conversion of residential structures to increase the number of dwelling units. A majority of floors shal have at least 700 square feel of floor area and yard space must be available for every family to be housed. Off-street parking must be provided and the total floor area in the structure must meet the ordinance specifications. For existing structures the total number of families permitted is determined by formula based on the size of the floors in the structure. Minimum lot area and width requirements, and minimum standards for yards are based on types of residential structures and number of families occupying structures.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:R20Enumerated Domain Value Definition:Small Lot Housing--Prmarily intended in areas where narrow and/or shallow lots are located. Single-family detached, semi-detached, and attached dwellings permitted. No specified lot size. Lot size depends on gross floor area and height of structure. Open space is gerally required to be minimum 8 ft. dimension and in the aggregate must be 25% of the total amount of floor area in structure. Other yards a minimum of 5 ft. permitted. Such yards, however, smaller than 8 ft. are not permitted to be credited toward the required 25% open space. Each lot does not need street frontage and off-street parking is permitted within 200 ft. of each dwelling unit.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4, RC5Enumerated Domain Value Definition:Commercial uses are not permitted in most residential districts, however, because in some areas limited commercial operations are conducted within apartment buildings, the zoning ordinance provides five multiple-family districts in which such uses are permitted under strict limitations. The first floors in structures containing at least 25 dwelling units may be occupied, depending on the number of residential units, but limited commercial uses having a floor area of not leass than 500 nor more than 6000 square feelt. Professional offices on the first story of buildings of five or less stories and the first and second floor of taller buildings (except for RC1 which permits no professional or commercial uses above the first floor). This is a new district which encourages the intermingling of residential, commercial, and professional uses in buildings containing 25 or more dwelling units. THe gross floor area permitted is 1, 200% of the area of the lot plus additional floor area, subject to certain conditions; the commercial and other non-residential uses may not exceed 500% of the area of the lot.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:RC6Enumerated Domain Value Definition:Residential-Commercial Districts--This district is intended to encourage multiple use development on large tracts of land in accordance with a plan of development approved by and filed with a plan of development approved by and filed with the City Planning Commission. Said plan shall be in conformity with stated standards as to type and use, area requirements, off-street parking and loading, and signs.

Industrical operations, exluding off-street parking and laoding, must be conducted within enclosed buidlings. Finished products manufactured in these districts shall not exceed 2,000 lbs. In wieght unless a Zoning Board of Adjustment certificate is obtained. The basic distinction between these districts lies not so much in the permitted uses but rather in the intensity of development permitted and in the requirements for yards.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:G1, G2Enumerated Domain Value Definition:General Industrial--In these districts, a broader range of industrial activities is permitted than in Limited Industrial Districts and the qualification imposed on uses in the Limited Districts are removed. In the G1, uses must still be conducted within enclosed buildings but this does not apply in the G2. In the G2, a wider range of industrial activities, including many which normally have considerable emissions of smoke and odors, are permitted.Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source:Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC)Enumerated Domain:Enumerated Domain Value:LREnumerated Domain Value Definition:Lest Restricted Industrial--In this district, any legal industrial use may be conducted.
