Recreational Trail Overlay District

The purpose and intent of the RTO Recreational Trail Overlay District is to protect and enhance the Pennsy Trail and other public recreational trails in the city by providing a consistent design treatment for properties along public trails, providing controls for development patterns that establish continuity between projects and to improve the physical relationship and human scale between new buildings and trails, protecting the character. The primary goal of the overlay is buildings and development patterns facing and enhancing the Pennsy Trail and other recreational trail amenities in the community.; The RTO supersedes the base zone where in conflict. The existing development pattern along the Pennsy Trail is largely industrial and commercial uses oriented toward the former rail right-of-way. The desired development pattern for the RT is mixed-use commercial and residential development with dual orientation toward the trail and a vehicular roadway where applicable. First floor trail oriented retail or entertainment uses are encouraged with commercial or residential uses above. Development should promote multi modal transportation and support the use and vibrancy of the trail.
