The Neighborhoods future land use category consists primarily of residential areas focused on sustaining a high quality of life through well-maintained infrastructure, housing, open space, schools, and limited service/institutional uses.
RESIDENTial areas
Single-family residential should remain the primary use within neighborhoods. It is the intention to preserve and enhance these uses and to regulate the design of new residential infill products to be within the context of the surrounding environment. Existing multifamily developments, which function as transitions from moderate and high intensity commercial areas, should be well maintained to preserve neighborhood character. With few large tracts left for residential development, some infill and redevelopment opportunities may not fit the typical neighborhood design.
Non-Residential Areas
Institutional, light office, and service uses are considered secondary uses and may be located along the frontage of arterial streets and intersections.
Residential Adjacency Standards
Adequate transitions in building setbacks and height must be provided when development is proposed near established neighborhoods.
Priorities
- Preserving neighborhood character and quality of life
- Upkeep of existing housing stock
- Requiring adjacent commercial land uses to provide adequate transitions
- Variety of housing heights, sizes, and types
