283 Sadlar Meadow Rd Unit A, Richmond, VT 05477

High Density Residential District

The standards of this district are designed to promote the higher density housing that is characteristic of village centers and growth areas. The efficient use of infrastructure will be served by allowing closer placement of residential units, with neighborhoods located close to the retail services of the commercial district. This proximity allows for energy-efficient pedestrian traffic, roadways and school bus traffic. Planning for road crossings, sidewalks, curbside trees, bikeways, pocket parks and recreational activities, and other amenities, will be crucial to maintaining an inviting atmosphere while encouraging high density residential growth. Various types of residential units may be permitted in a Residential PUD within the HDR district.; Traditional spacing and setbacks for houses shall be maintained to preserve the integrity of the New England village atmosphere. Home occupations within residences, day care facilities, proximity to schools and civic institutions, pedestrian pathways to essential services and close-knit residential groups constitute the character of the neighborhood.
