R1
Low Density Residential District
The R1 district should generally apply to those areas designated as Neighborhood Central on the framework map of the comprehensive plan; The Residential R1 district generally includes the established neighborhoods surrounding downtown Northfield that are characterized by traditional urban development qualities such as a grid pattern street network, sidewalks, and a range of single-family, two-family, and some multi-family dwellings on smaller lots. The purpose of the R-1B district is to continue to support single-family, two-family, and three-family attached and detached dwellings within the existing character of the city's older neighborhoods. The essential, existing character of the R1 district should be reinforced with any infill or redevelopment of properties. The primary intent of this zone is to strengthen the character of existing historic neighborhoods within Northfield and to protect and enhance the unique character of those existing neighborhoods, particularly in locations where this character may be most susceptible to change.
