The R-60 zone allows for fairly dense residential development with minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet. Houses must have minimum setbacks of 8 feet on the sides and 20 feet in the rear. Maximum building height is 30-35 feet for the main building. Developments in the R-60 zone typically result in subdivision patterns near commercial centers with around 7 units per acre.
