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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Suburban Multifamily.
