Outer Drive-Hayes, located between Hayes Street and Outer Drive East, is a residential and commercial Detroit neighborhood with broad boulevards and brick bungalow blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Outer Drive East and Hayes Street corridor, where corner storefronts, auto-service bays, and carryout counters set a steady, street-level rhythm. Housing reads as classic east-side Detroit: compact brick homes, tidy porches, and deep lots framed by mature trees. The wide sweep of Outer Drive gives the area a distinct, drive-by skyline of lawns, setbacks, and mid-century signage. Nearby green space and recreation nodes shape daily routines more than nightlife. Local institutions and small shops define the texture block by block.

R1
Single-Family Residential District
The R1 Single-Family Residential District is designed to protect and preserve quiet, low-density residential areas now primarily developed and those areas which will be developed with single-family detached dwellings and characterized by a high ratio of home ownership. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district and to promote and encourage a suitable environment for activities associated with family life. To these ends, development is limited to a relatively low concentration and uses permitted by right are limited to single-family detached dwellings which provide homes for the residents of the area. Additional residential uses such as religious institutions, neighborhood centers, and utility uses necessary to serve the immediate area may be permitted on a conditional basis.
