Article 30-3:Zoning Districts Section E:Business Base Zoning Districts Subsection 3:Neighborhood Commercial(NC)District 3. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL(NC) DISTRICT • The Neighborhood Commercial(NC)District is established and intended to accommodate small- scale,low-intensity,and"convenience"retail and service uses that provide goods and services serving the residents of the immediately surrounding neighborhood(e.g.,personal service uses, small restaurants,and limited retail). Development in the district should not include uses of a size • ' • • that is out of scale with a residential neighborhood,or that attracts traffic from outside the • • surrounding neighborhood. Individual retail uses shall not exceed 2,500 square feet without obtaining a Special Use Permit(See Section 30-2.<>.). Residential uses are encouraged on the upper floors of nonresidential establishments. The district is subject to standards intended to ensure development is consistent with the neighborhood scale and compatible with surrounding uses and the design standards in Article 30-5:Development Standards. _ • • • 0 • ' D • • • rr Lot area,min.(sq ft) 10,000 8,000 5,000 per unit 15,000 per si n/a Lot width,min.(ft) 45 60 n/a Gross residential density, max(dwelling units/acre) 8 10 8 6 1 n/a [I] Lot coverage,max(*A of lot 55 45 area) 121 25; 15 where Height,max(ft) 50 35 abutting a single- family zoning district or use Front and comer side Within 5 feet of average for lots on same block face,but no less than 10 feet Not allowed in setback,min.(ft)[3] front,side,or Side setback,min.(ft)[3] 3; 15 when abutting single-family zoning 5 10 corner side yard or use areas Rear setback,min.(ft)[3] 20 5 Spacing between buildings, 20 n/a 20 5 min.(ft) Zero lot line development shall comply with the applicable maximum gross residential density standards.

S+The NC district is a new district that consolidates the existing C I A,and P3P districts.None of the current districts include a minimum lot size standard,minimum lot width,or maximum lot coverage. We have suggested new standards for lots in the NC district based on the MR-5 and OI districts. We have suggested an approach that allows 3-story nonresidential and mixed-use developments and 3 story residential uses(additional design standards will also apply that relate to contextual heights,roof forms,and"step backs"towards shorter saiuctures). The setbacks have been established to limit the creation of noncontformities.
