DROD Area 3: Residential 3

DROD Area 3 consists of a contiguous area in the interior of the DROD, located east of Main Street,
West of 9th Street (Lynn Lane), South of Detroit Street and generally north of Dallas Street. Area
3 is unique in that it contains the most consistent collection of traditional single-family forms
and architectural character within the DROD. While some infill and alterations have occurred
and periods of development vary, architectural character and form is relatively consistent within
individual blocks.

Area 3 should retain its single-family residential character by promoting moderately scaled
building forms and compatible architectural character. New infill development and renovations
should be designed to be expressly compatible with the single-family traditional context and the
block in which they are located.

Development should include design elements and features, such as porches, pitched roofs, and
subordinate garages, which fit in with the traditional context. Building features, including the
overall height of a building (or specific portions of a building), should be scaled to maximize
compatibility.

Development should contribute to an engaging streetscape that promotes walkability by orienting
toward the street, minimizing the visibility of garages and minimizing vehicular-pedestrian
conflicts. New development should also incorporate re-use of alleyways, where they are available.

Building forms in Area 3 should be generally limited to single family, but appropriately scaled and
compatible accessory dwelling units should also be accommodated.
