              	   WHEREAS, there is conflicting statements within the
         RT-1 Zone regulations, one of which states that townhouse
         developments of more than 8 "should" be located within 500' of 
a
         major arterial or collector street, the other which states that 

         the development "must" be located within 500'; and
              	   WHEREAS, the language which states "should be" is part 

         of a more recent amendment than the language which states "must 

         be"; and
              	   WHEREAS, there are potentially many situations where
         it would be reasonable to allow such developments on or near
         certain streets which are not designated as major arterials or
         collectors; and
