3-202 Hillside Developing One Zone District

Section 3-202 Hillside Developing One Zone District

3-202.A. Purpose. The purpose of the Hillside Developing One Zone District (HD-1) is to allow hillside land that is largely undeveloped to be used for residential purposes and accessory uses.

Master planning is required for the entire zone district to locate residential units, access, and utilities with sensitivity to site conditions, open space and visual resources on and off the property in this area, through the planned unit development (PUD) review process. Less site coverage, clustering of units, low visibility, minimal impact on terrain and reduced densities are encouraged.

3-202.B. Use Table. The uses permitted by right and the uses permitted on review in the Hillside Developing One Zone District are as follows:
