This has been named “Neighborhood 4” or NB-4 for consistency with existing <br />designations. Multifamily uses were removed as permitted uses in NB-3. Small multi-family <br />uses (3 to 8 attached units) are allowed in the new NB-4 subdistrict. <br /> <br />The Neighborhood Transition subdistricts were combined with a density range of 8 to 15 units <br />per acre. With 24.6 acres classified for Neighborhood Transition, a maximum of 369 multi- <br />family units could be built. The actual yield is estimated at 328 to 350 units (89-95% <br />efficiency). <br /> <br />The Town Center zone was reduced to 10 acres with a maximum density of 45 units per acre. <br /> <br />Changes to Table 3-3 allow flexibility in the location of parks in the Hill Neighborhood, and in <br />the size of blocks, provided that pedestrian connections are provided. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
