USES R1-4 T1
R4 (single family residential district) to T1 (traditional neighborhood district)
The R1—R4 one-family residential districts provide for an environment of predominantly low-density, one-family dwellings along with civic and institutional uses, public services and utilities that serve the residents in the districts. Because of their residential nature, these districts are not intended for more intensive uses such as small conference centers, private retreat centers and reception houses.
The T1 traditional neighborhood district is intended to provide for compact, pedestrian-oriented mixed-use areas of limited size, with a variety of residential, office and service uses that primarily serve neighborhood needs. It is also intended to serve as a transitional use of land along major thoroughfares, between commercial or industrial districts and residential districts or other less intensive land uses.

Dimensional Standards Comparison
Important concepts and features of the T1 Zoning District • In T1 mixed use buildings, density is determined by Floor Area Ratios. Floor Area ratio is defined as: The total floor area of all buildings or structures on a zoning lot divided by the area of said lot.• Structures shall be no more than twenty-five (25) feet high along side and rear property lines abutting RL-RT2 residential districts; structures may exceed this twenty-five (25) foot height limit if stepped back from side and rear property lines a distance equal to the additional height
Line corresponds to maximum height
