a) PURPOSE -In areas where the construction of single-family attached dwellings has already occurred and is predominant, Single-Family Attached Residential Conservation Districts are established. These neighborhoods predominantly consist of single-family attached residences that are worthy of preservation and protection, but some lack sufficient historical, architectural or cultural significance at the present time to be designated with a Historic Overlay District or HARB Overlay. The district aims to preserve, protect, enhance and perpetuate the value of these medium to high density residential neighborhoods through the following neighborhood conservation principles:
1) NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER - Protect and strengthen desirable and unique physical features, design characteristics, and recognized identity and neighborhood character.
2) REVITALIZATION - Promote and provide for neighborhood revitalization guided by design and property maintenance standards specific to unique districts to ensure harmonious, orderly and efficient redevelopment of the City.
3) LIVABILITY - Protect and enhance livability of the City by providing predominately for single-family attached residences and live work opportunities. NONCONFORMITIES AND BLIGHT - Reduce conflict and prevent blighting caused by incompatible and insensitive development, redevelopment or infill development and poor property maintenance.
4) PROPERTY VALUES - Stabilize property values.
b) USE REGULATIONS - A structure may be erected or used and a lot may be used or occupied for principal and accessory uses as identified in table 1303.08.
c) DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS - In this Zoning District, any structure hereafter erected or any lot hereafter used or occupied for any lawful purpose shall provide the minimum, and not exceed the maximum, dimensions specified in table 1303.10 or as specified elsewhere in this ordinance. Should the requirements of this Article conflict with other requirements within this ordinance for any specified use, the strictest of requirements shall take precedence.
d) OTHER REQUIREMENTS - All uses must comply with all other sections of this zoning ordinance and applicable City, State, and Federal requirements.
