ZONING The study area encompasses a variety of zoning designations, with the majority of areas designated residential (see Figure 1.C.1c). • Urban Residential (UR) allows for single-family housing, duplexes, small apartment buildings and townhomes. UR covers much of the central portion of the study area. • Urban Mixed Use (UMX), Residential Mixed Use (RMX), and Neighborhood Business (NB) allow for higher density housing and limited commercial uses. These zones are located along Wait Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue in the southern part of the study area and along N. White Street in the northeastern part of the study area. • General Residential (GR3 & GR5) zone allow for residential uses and related recreational, religious, and education facilities. This zone serves as a transition between rural and urban developments/ character areas. GR is located in the southeastern and northeastern portions of the neighborhood.
• Open Space (OS) preserves and protects environmentally sensitive lands and are under public ownership. OS is located on the eastern side and of the study area, with a small space in the center of the study area. Currently, as per the Town’s regulations, any non- residential uses on residentially- zoned parcels are considered non-conforming. Rezoning is required to add any commercial or institutional development in areas that are zoned for residential use within the study area. An application for rezoning must be submitted to the Planning Department for consideration. Such rezoning are considered by the Town government based on parcel-specific rezoning application(s).
