The following zoning districts are hereby established to regulate
the orderly use and development of all lands within the Borough. The
specific purpose of each district shall serve as guidance for regulating
existing and future development. All land within the Borough is classified
as one of the following zoning districts hereby established and designated
on the Zoning Map as follows:

The Planned Residential Development District (PRD) is no longer included
in the menu of zoning districts in this code. All property previously
designated as a PRD that is not assigned a different zoning district
concurrently with the adoption of this code shall remain a PRD and
may continue to function under the established standards of each specific
PRD ordinance previously adopted. Any project within the same geographic
boundaries of an existing PRD may be redeveloped under the same provisions
that were previously adopted for that district or according to an
appropriate zoning district herein.

are prohibited in the applicable zoning district.
|
A.
The Borough will occasionally receive an application for approval
of a use that is not expressly listed in the use table. In such instances,
the Borough Manager or their designee will determine if a proposed
use is similar to a listed use based on the following factors:
(1)
Whether the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan or area plan and the purpose and intent of the zoning district;
(2)
Whether the use has similar impacts on the surrounding neighborhood,
such as traffic, noise, lighting, or similar considerations; and
(3)
Whether the use has the same characteristics as a listed use
in terms of building and site arrangement, site area or floor space,
equipment devoted to the activity, customer type, number of employees
in each activity, hours of operation, vehicles used and parking requirements,
number of vehicle trips generated, signs, and how the use is advertised.
B.
If it is determined that a proposed use is similar to a listed use,
the regulations governing the similar listed use apply to the unlisted
use.
C.
If it is determined that a proposed use is not similar to a listed
use, then the proposed use shall be prohibited. The decision of the
Borough Manager or their designee is appealable to the Zoning Hearing
Board as set forth herein below.

A. 
Intent. The Transit-Oriented
(TO) District recognizes that Dormont’s three rail transit stations
are valuable assets and amenities for the Borough and desires to leverage
them by creating a vibrant mixed-use locus around each station. Development
around transit promotes transit usage, walkability, and reduces automobile
dependence and traffic congestion.
B.
Development pattern. The intended development pattern and building
form within the TO District is for vertical buildings of three to
eight stories, with small or no setbacks and with off-street parking
subordinated in structures or in the rear or interior courts of buildings.
Buildings are to be oriented to promote pedestrian access to transit
stations and surrounding walkable commerce and amenities. Corner buildings
should include commercial uses at the ground level with residential
uses above.

|
 |
A. 
Intent. The Commercial
(C) District is located along the main commercial corridors of West
Liberty Avenue and Potomac Avenue.
B.
Development pattern. The predominant development pattern and building
form in these districts should promote a diversity of commercial uses
on the ground floor with residential uses on the upper floors. Buildings
should be vertical and of two to six stories with little to no setbacks,
off-street parking located in the rear, if at all, and buildings designed
and oriented toward the street to promote a walkable environment of
small-footprint retail, services, food and entertainment uses.
C.
Uses. The mix of uses in the C District is intended to promote Dormont
as a twenty-minute neighborhood where most essential neighborhood
amenities are no more than a twenty-minute walk from any part of the
Borough.

Facade of natural materials similar in design and materials
to majority of buildings in development or neighborhood within 300-foot
radius of parking structure

 |
A. 
Intent. The Residential
Collector (R-C) District is located along highly traveled residential
corridors.
B.
Development pattern. The predominant development pattern and building
form along these corridors is intended to promote a mix of high- and
medium-intensity building forms and uses. Corner buildings are intended
to be situated and designed to create nodes of ground floor commercial
uses with residential uses above.

A. 
Intent. The Alley-Loaded
Residential (R-A) District is established for residential properties
with vehicular access by way of rear alleys.
B.
Development pattern.
(1)
The predominant development pattern and building form in this
district is two- and three-story, residential single- and-two-unit
buildings with a small side yard setback and direct pedestrian access
via a front walk leading to a front porch or stoop.
(2)
Rear yards may contain garages or other accessory structures
oriented toward the alley and providing a secondary means of access
to the property. Properties have small front yards and larger rear
yards between the primary structure and the rear yard accessory structure.

A. 
Intent. The Street-Loaded
Residential (R-S) District includes residential properties with vehicular
access by way of side yard drives, if at all.
B.
Development pattern. The predominant development pattern and building
form in these districts is two- and three-story, residential single-
and-two-unit buildings with a small or no side yard setback in one
side yard and a more substantial side yard setback in the other side
yard to accommodate a one-car-wide driveway. Front yards are relatively
small, and rear yards may accommodate a detached accessory structure
at the terminus of the driveway.

A. 
Intent. The Public
Amenity (PA) District includes publicly owned facilities, such as
parks, recreation facilities, schools, life and safety services, and
government offices.
B.
Development pattern. Properties in the PA District are largely open
space; however, where there are buildings, they should be oriented
in such a way to maximize pedestrian connectivity within the community.
This district contains no building standards.
