Baker-Donora, located between W Saginaw St and W Michigan Ave, is a residential and civic Lansing neighborhood with mid-century blocks and a campus-edge energy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Michigan Ave corridor near the Capitol complex, where coffee counters, lunch spots, and storefront services keep sidewalks active. Community pillars include the Michigan History Center, the Lansing Center, and the Wharton Center for Performing Arts. Streets read as practical and walkable, with a mix of smaller homes and apartment buildings. River-adjacent paths and downtown plazas shape daily routines. Architecture leans utilitarian, with occasional historic civic facades anchoring the skyline.

The intent of the R-6 Urban Residential District is to preserve the historic character of Lansing's most urban neighborhoods maintaining the scale of medium-density single-family detached residences. These neighborhoods feature small lots, early 20th century-built homes often with alleys and rear loading garages. Infill development in this district should respect the historic single-family character. Typical character types include Four-Square, Craftsman, and Queen Anne vernacular types. Front-facing gable and hip roofs are typical. The intent of sub-district R-6B is to integrate attached residential units into appropriate locations at the perimeter of established residential neighborhoods. Attached residential units are intended to provide a physical transition from the adjacent busier street types, and/or non-residential uses to the purely residential neighborhood.
