MODULE 2
NOW POSTED FOR REVIEW!
Implementing the Comp Plan • In Comp Plan “Areas of Consistency”
– new lots must meet contextual standards based on existing development patterns.
• Downtown, Urban Centers, Main Streets, and Transit-Oriented Developments have higher allowable building heights.
• Neighborhood-specific standards for sidewalks, drive-throughs, and off-premises signs.
7
Neighborhood Protection and Character
1. Many SU-2 zoning regulations designed to protect neighborhoods from impacts of adjacent development have become citywide standards.
2. R-1 Zone becomes 4 zones to better reflect neighborhood fabric.
3. More intense Centers and Corridors (Downtown, Urban Centers, and Main Streets have more urban standards; other Centers and Corridors (closer to neighborhoods) have lower heights and densities and more open space.
4. Some SU-2 standards specific to a neighborhood have been retained with maps showing the areas where they apply.

Module 2: Development Standards
Dimensional Standards • Lot sizes
• Minimum and maximum densities
• Open space requirements
• Building setbacks and build-to standards
• Height standards
• Exceptions and encroachments
11
Three Sets of Dimensional Standards:
• Residential
• Mixed-Use
• Nonresidential
Highlights - Dimensions • R-1 Zone is now divided into 4 districts to
allow mapping that better reflects established neighborhood character.
• Mixed-use districts include increased maximum densities.
12

A. 3,500 sq. ft. 25 ft. wide
B. 5,000 sq. ft. 37.5 ft. wide
C. 7,000 sq. ft. 50 ft. wide
D. 10,000 sq. ft. 70 ft. wide

Geographic Influence on Zoning Conversions • Overall idea is one-to-one district conversion
• Implementation of Comp Plan policies requires finer grained approach to conversion
• To facilitate job-housing balance difference in current commercial district conversion
• Areas of higher residential concentration = conversion to NR-C.
• Areas of existing mixed use and employment opportunities = MX-T
