<br /> As the map above shows, the Rogers Road neighborhood is mostly zoned Chapel Hill R-1/R-1A or
<br /> Carrboro RR, zoning classes which allow up to 3 units per acre and lot sizes as low as 17,000 square feet.
<br /> This existing zoning allows development-by-right of a kind that is potentially inappropriate for the
<br /> community. The upcoming Merin Road development on the neighborhood's outskirts — which conforms
<br /> with the density of R-1 but has lower lot sizes— matches pretty well with what residents described as one
<br /> of their worst fears for new development in the neighborhood (the others being mini-mansions and
<br /> monolithic mixed-use developments like Greenbridge or Meadowmont). Residential areas should be
<br /> zoned in a way which imposes more specific limits than R-1 or RR on both square footage and density,
<br /> (perhaps a minimum lot size of 30,000 square feet) by default, but which increases neighborhood input
<br /> throughout the development review process and allows for exceptions with the neighborhood's approval.
<br /> On the Chapel Hill side, this could potentially be done through a Neighborhood Conservation District.
