The Residential 1 District is intended as a primarily single-family
home district with supporting and ancillary uses, such as parks and
schools. Although areas for large developments of new homes within
the Village are limited, any new homes in any R-1 District should
maintain the character of existing R-1 neighborhoods and housing.
A.
Please refer to Chapter 170, Article IV, § 170-8, Schedule of Permitted Land Uses. The residential districts within the Village are hierarchical, that is, any use permitted in R-1 is also permitted in R-2 and R-3 and any use in R-2 is permitted in R-3, but not R-1, R-3 uses are only permitted in R-3.
B.
Other uses not specifically listed in § 170-8, Village of Newark Schedule of Permitted Land Uses, but deemed by the Zoning Board of Appeals to be similar in nature and compatible with the purposes of the R-1 Residence District. Once a use has been deemed similar in nature and compatible with the purposes of the district, special permit criteria shall be reviewed and a special permit issued, if approved. NOTE: In an R-1 Residence District, adult entertainment shall not be a permitted use.
