425 Opelika Rd, Auburn, AL 36830

Redevelopment District

This District is intended to promote the renewal of those transitional areas of the City of Auburn that have undergone extensive changes in land use type and density intensity. Transition from generally low density residential land use to higher residential densities and small scale commercial, office and institutional use has occurred in a haphazard manner, much of it prior to enactment of current zoning regulations. This District provides regulations that permit redevelopment of an urban character. It provides for intermediate residential densities and necessary commercial and institutional uses.; The RDD is designed to target areas where a combination of public investment in capital improvements and public private actions to renew and redevelop land and structures will stabilize transitional neighborhoods, thereby reducing the cost of growth in Auburn. The RDD may not accommodate a substantially larger population as a result of redevelopment, but the character, stability and vitality of the District are projected to improve immensely. Like the CDD, this District allows many and varied uses while placing emphasis on minimizing or buffering any nuisances between uses. This Ordinance, therefore, imposes standards to resolve any possible problems and eliminate negative impacts.
