Urban Neighborhood 1 District
The U1 District is established to provide for, promote, and maintain urban neighborhoods located in both the core and outlying areas of the City.; The following are typical characteristics of the U1 District: Primarily single and two unit residential development in the form of detached houses, allowing the addition of ancillary dwelling units to give additional value; Buildings with modest setbacks and inviting building frontages, primarily of stoops and porches, that create a consistent block face along smaller city blocks; Detached garages located at the rear of the lot, often accessed from an alley; Pedestrian-oriented scale with sidewalks and regularly spaced street trees.
