R-1
Residential District
To encourage a mix of homes dwelling 1-unit; 2-unit; and accessory dwellings ADs to create cohesive, walkable neighborhoods. 3-unit and 4-unit dwellings are allowed by Special Land Use approval up to a maximum of 4-units per lot including an AD. Neighborhood serving amenities and services such as religious institutions, parks, and recreation are also permitted. The district is defined by tree-lined streets, homes of different architectural styles, and cohesive neighborhoods that facilitate social interaction i.e., front porches, garages located to the side of the dwelling or detached at the rear of the property, etc. The R-1 District prioritizes pedestrian activity via building design, traffic calming infrastructure, crosswalks, sidewalks, and bike lanes.
