Squirrel Hill North, located between Schenley Park and Frick Park, is a residential and commercial Pittsburgh neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a walkable business corridor. Forbes Avenue and Murray Avenue concentrate the neighborhood’s character, where independent bookstores, old-school diners, specialty grocers, and sidewalk cafés keep the sidewalks busy. Community pillars include the Manor Theatre, the Squirrel Hill Market, and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Squirrel Hill. Brick and stone homes, including classic Pittsburgh foursquares and Tudor-inspired facades, line the hilly blocks. Green space frames daily routines via park trails and ballfields. Buses and bike routes connect the corridor to Oakland and Downtown.

The purpose of the RP provisions contained in this chapter and in applicable provisions of the Subdivision Regulations and Standards is to permit greater flexibility in the design and development of residential areas than is generally possible under the residential zoning district regulations. The regulations established hereunder permit a variety of housing structure types and associated facilities to be developed in a planned setting without some of the constraints imposed in other residential districts. The regulations are intended to encourage innovation in housing design and residential area site planning in order to meet the housing and related needs of the City's diverse population; to promote economic and efficient use of land; to provide a high level of urban amenities; and to protect the natural environment of the planned unit development site and of areas which may be affected by development on the site. It is also the intention of these regulations to prevent negative impacts upon nearby areas by limiting the intensity of development in residential planned unit development districts to a level which is compatible with that in adjacent areas and which shall insure that the capacity of community facilities, utilities and transportation systems shall not be exceeded.
