The images below show example of District 6 Neighborhood Residential areas.

Maximum Residential Gross Density

20 dwelling units per acre

Maximum Intensity (Floor Area Ratio)

All non-residential Development - 4.0 FAR

Typical Uses

Diverse residential development at densities higher than surrounding neighborhoods. (See FLUE Policy 3.4.7 for table depicting desired mixture of land uses with the NC category)

Specific Intent/Description

All of the "Neighborhood" land use classifications were created to promote the redevelopment of blighted communities. The NR district includes a diverse residential development pattern that is accentuated by parks, recreation areas and civic uses essential to community gathering. The district is pedestrian in nature with side-walk lined, tree-shaded streets naturally calmed by on-street parking and an active environment
