Editor’s Note: The Summary Use Table is included in § 210-205.
[Amended 7-5-2022 by Ord. No. 1646]
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 Zoning Officer 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.

A. 
Intent. The Residential Collector (R-C) District is located along highly traveled residential corridors.
B.

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.

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.
