Neighborhood General 2 District

The N2 district should generally apply to those areas intended for residential neighborhoods designated as Pipeline and Managed Growth on the conservation and development map of the comprehensive plan, and those areas designated as Neighborhood General 1 on the framework map of the comprehensive plan and Neighborhood General 2 on the Zoning Map.; The Neighborhood General 2 N2 district is applied to residential neighborhoods of the city that may include larger vacant areas within the current city limits and areas that will be within city limits through future annexations. The N2 district will create a pedestrian-friendly environment, such as found in the R1 district, with strong neighborhood qualities, such as a grid-like street pattern, consistent block size, compact development, a range of housing types and architectural styles, street connectivity, sidewalks, and homes located in close relationship to the street. In addition, the N2 district will include greenways and natural areas, and options for neighborhood-serving commercial. This development pattern is the preferred future pattern for the city, as expressed in the comprehensive plan.
