Parking:

• Residential parking is not allowed between the building’s front wall and the street.

The original proposal to establish an R5D zoning designation has been modified in a subsequent application to include minimum lot width and lot area requirements. In response to concerns raised by community members and local elected officials, the refuse storage requirements of the Quality Housing Program have been made applicable to the R5D Zoning District. In addition, in order to better organize the Zoning Resolution, the street tree and front yard planting requirements and parking restrictions of the proposed R5D designation have been reorganized and those components of the Quality Housing Program have been made applicable to the R5D designation.
