Darrow Road Overlay District-2

The Darrow Road Overlay District-1 is established for the portion of Darrow Road south of Lillian Road and Bryn Mawr Drive. The Darrow Road Overlay District-2 is established for the portion of Darrow Road north of Lillian Road and Bryn Mawr Drive. These two Darrow Road Overlay Districts are intended to not only continue to encourage single-family developments, but to also recognize that well-designed non-single-family developments may be compatible with the uses along Darrow Road provided they do not fragment or isolate existing low density residential areas and are designed in a manner and at a scale consistent with the prevailing residential character of the corridor and adjacent residential areas. Therefore, these two Overlay Districts provide for limited non-single-family developments to be considered in locations that meet the objectives of the Darrow Road Overlay Districts. Each application shall be subject to a careful evaluation to ensure that any non-single family development occurs only according to the established criteria. Such needed assurances are not possible if the area were to be rezoned to a conventional office or commercial district.
