MF Multi-Family Zoning in Moore, OK — Higher-Density Residential

MF Multi-Family District is Moore's higher-density residential zoning, primarily applied to dedicated apartment-development sites. MF allows larger apartment buildings than R-3, with greater density, taller buildings, and more parking flexibility — typically used along major commercial corridors and adjacent to higher-intensity uses.

MF density runs to 24 dwelling units per acre with appropriate site planning. Building height is 50 feet (taller via PUD), with 50% maximum lot coverage. Setbacks: 30-foot front, 15-foot side (with additional buffer adjacent to lower-density residential).

Apartment buildings in MF over 3 stories or 7,500 sq ft of floor area require fire sprinklers, with NFPA 13 (commercial) sprinklers for any building over 4 stories. Architectural plans must be stamped by an OK-licensed architect. Site drainage and detention require engineered plans.
