R3 Overlay (Residential High). This zone is to allow for moderate income and retirement housing, as well as lower density housing traditional to Lindon. A major consideration of this development is to consider densities that make a portion of the development more affordable or more appropriate for the elderly, while maintaining as much of the character of Lindon as possible, including some larger lots, open space, rural character, compatibility with surrounding development/zones, and modest impact on city infrastructure. To enhance open space, while still allowing for somewhat greater densities, there should be allowance for some clustering, a limited number of duplexes or triplexes which appear as single family dwellings, and variable lot sizes.
