Residential Neighborhood Preservation (RNP) District

A. Purpose

The Residential Neighborhood Preservation District maintains the open residential character of the existing neighborhood, to retain affordable housing options, and to reduce the impact caused by incompatible infill development. Standards in this area address infill considerations associated with the existing pattern of single-family development. Allowing only low density single-family detached and manufactured homes will help to ensure that future growth is harmonious with the established pattern of development.
