  § 35-353. "NP" Neighborhood Preservation Districts.  

Latest version.

  • STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

    The neighborhood preservation districts are designed to protect properties zoned "R-A," "R-1a," "R-1b," or "R-1c" prior to June 4, 2001 and existing platted subdivisions which are substantially developed with single-family detached dwelling units. It is the policy of the city that these districts will be applied only to properties zoned "R-A," "R-1a," "R-1b," or "R-1c" prior to June 4, 2001 or platted subdivisions which are recorded as of the effective date of this chapter, in order to prevent such subdivisions from being further subdivided in a manner in order to avoid congestion in the streets, prevent safety hazards, protect the health and general welfare of subdivision residents, provide adequate light and air, prevent the overcrowding of land, avoid undue concentration of population, and facilitate the adequate provision of public facilities. The "NP" districts are not appropriate for the down zoning of unsubdivided parcels or tracts.

    Nonconforming Lots. The rezoning of an existing subdivision to an "NP" district may at times result in lots which do not conform to the new zoning district lot sizes. In such cases, a single-family detached dwelling, and any uses accessory thereto, shall be permitted as provided in subsection 35-702(c) of this chapter.

    (e)

    Properties Zoned Prior to June 4, 2001. Properties zoned "R-A," "R-1a," "R-1b," or "R-1c" prior to June 4, 2001 whether platted or remaining undeveloped will be converted to new zoning districts as indicated in Appendix "D" - zoning district conversion matrix.
