Zoning

UR3

Urban Residential District

This district is intended primarily for residential development including a range of dwellings and housing types, including multiplexes, at a transitional scale between that of lower-scale residential neighborhoods and the scale of Centers and Corridors, reflecting residential patterns such as pedestrian orientation and space between buildings. Buildings may occupy a little more of each residential lot than in the UR-2 District. Other compatible uses include residential businesses, neighborhood-serving commercial uses, and community facilities including parks, schools and religious facilities. The district is characterized by moderate activity levels and vehicular traffic, trees and other green features, and complete streets supporting transportation choices. The UR-3 District is generally located adjacent to higher intensity zoning districts and/or major Corridors.
