The Neighborhood Conservation districts (NC1, NC-2, NC-3, and NC-4) are applied to residential neighborhoods that predate the adoption of City zoning regulations and exhibit primarily single-family residential character. The intent is to maintain the character of neighborhoods including the setting for important historic and cultural resources. The district regulations are also intended to establish reasonable conditions for the continuation of non-residential uses that pre-date City zoning and to allow other non-residential uses under strict guidelines and upon special review. There shall be four NC districts each corresponding to the unique settlement patterns therein. These districts permit and encourage minor infill development but generally all proposed new dwellings shall be single-family detached units
