Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent of the RO-3 Residential-Office
District is to encourage a high-quality, walkable urban neighborhood with a variety
of office and residential uses. Commercial uses located within the district shall
be clearly incidental to other primary uses, though welcoming to the general public.
The district is intended to promote pedestrian traffic and reduce the effect of vehicular
traffic by prohibiting surface parking lots as a permitted principal use, screening
accessory parking lots and parking decks, and reducing driveways across sidewalks.
Required front and side yard setbacks create spaces between buildings that soften
the streetscape and provide space for landscaping and usable open space. The district
regulations are also intended to enhance public safety and encourage an active urban
environment by providing windows in building façades along street frontages.
