Articles 1-14 in the Unified Development Ordinance are categorized as “Zoning Districts and Overlay Articles.” These articles provide regulations for specific neighborhoods of the City to manage growth and redevelopment, ensure compatible neighborhood development, and preserve the existing character of a neighborhood. They also establish standards for residential areas, multi-family dwellings, townhouses, and open space requirements. The NCO Neighborhood Character Overlay is intended to create a transition between locally designated historic landmark properties and/or locally designated historic districts and residential areas. Penalties may be issued by the Zoning Administrator for violations of these regulations.
