DROD Area 2: Residential 2

DROD Area 2 includes one contiguous area within the interior of the DROD, generally located
east of Main Street, west of 9th Street (Lynn Lane), north of Detroit Street and south of Midway
Avenue. Area 2 was originally developed in the 1940’s as a single-family residential neighborhood
and has generally retained this character over time. Area 2 currently contains single-family
homes and a small number of two-family homes. While building forms are generally consistent
throughout this Area, architectural character (like materials and individual elements) and scale
vary significantly from block to block and house to house.

Development in Area 2 should continue to reinforce the established single-family residential
character while facilitating moderate increases in density through the accommodation of
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Two-family units.

Designs should express variety in architectural character while maintaining a generally consistent
single-family form. For example, variety in materials should be promoted while the scale and
width of buildings should be sized to be compatible with existing buildings.

Development in this area 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 2 may range from conventional single-family homes on a single lot to two-
family attached units, while also accommodating Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
