The residential district names and map symbols are intended to provide
a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting
the residential densities (urban, suburban, or rural) and dominate
housing type (single-family, two-family, or etc.).
A.
Rural Residential. The purpose of the Rural Residential District
is to balance residential development with the preservation of rural
character and farming activities within the Town and to support the
goals and objectives contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan.
This district will promote suitable placement of buildings and accessory
structures in relation to the site and surrounding areas in order
to minimize the potential for loss of productive agricultural resources
and the disruption of environmentally sensitive areas.
B.
Urban Single-Family. The purpose of the Urban Single-Family District
is to preserve the traditional village neighborhoods within Endicott,
Johnson City, and Endwell and to support the goals and objectives
contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. These neighborhoods are
generally characterized by owner-occupied, single-family, detached
homes placed on lots approximately 4,000 square feet in size. The
USF District is established to maintain the character and lifestyle
offered by these single-family neighborhoods. The USF District is
intended for areas with access to public water and sanitary sewer
service.
C.
Suburban Single-Family. The purpose of the Suburban Single-Family
District is to preserve the traditional village neighborhoods within
the Villages and the Town and to support the goals and objectives
contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. These neighborhoods are
generally characterized by owner-occupied, single-family, detached
homes placed on lots 9,000 square feet in size or larger. The SSF
District is established to maintain the character and lifestyle offered
by these single-family neighborhoods. The SSF District is intended
for areas with access to public water and sanitary sewer service.
D.
Urban Two-Family. The purpose of the Urban Two-Family District is
to provide neighborhoods that offer one- and two-family living opportunities
and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Unified Comprehensive
Plan. These neighborhoods are generally characterized by single- and
two-family homes that provide an environment that has traditional
design elements, such as unobstructed front yards, front porches,
and pedestrian friendly streetscapes. The UTF District is established
to maintain the character and lifestyle offered by these single- and
two-family neighborhoods. The UTF District is intended for areas with
access to public water and sanitary sewer service.
E.
Urban Multifamily. The purpose of the Urban Multifamily District
is to provide the broadest range of residential living opportunities
within Endicott, Johnson City, and Endwell and to support the goals
and objectives contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. These
neighborhoods may contain a mix of single- or two-family homes as
well as higher-density developments, such as apartments or townhouses,
on lots that may be as small as 4,000 square feet in size. Developments
in this district shall employ techniques to minimize negative impacts
(including circulation, parking, glare, noise, etc.) on existing residential
areas.
F.
Suburban Multifamily. The purpose of the Suburban Multifamily District
is to provide the broadest range of residential living opportunities
within the Town and to support the goals and objectives contained
in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. These neighborhoods may contain
a mix of single- or two-family homes as well as higher-density developments,
such as apartments or townhouses, on lots that may be as small as
7,000 square feet in size. Developments in this district shall employ
techniques to minimize negative impacts (including circulation, parking,
glare, noise, etc.) on existing residential areas.
