Residential-Office, Class A Office Zone

The R-O-A zoning classification is established, pursuant to the findings of Section 202.1, to accommodate single-family, duplex and two-family detached houses converted to office buildings in predominantly residential areas on sites that, because of adjacent nonresidential activity, heavy commercial traffic or other similar factors, can no longer reasonably be limited solely to uses allowable in moderate-density residential zones. It is further the intent of the County Council that the residential appearance of the existing structure and the residential setting of any building converted to offices be maintained in the R-O-A Zones so that the converted dwelling will be highly compatible with neighboring residential property. To maintain residential character, the Council does not intend that lots be developed or redeveloped solely for the purpose of providing parking in the R-O-A Zone.The R-O-A Zone shall only be applied to sites which are large enough or designed in such a way that parking and access can be accommodated without sacrificing the residential character of the site and where the conversion from residential to office use will not cause serious disruption in traffic flow.
