The O-O Overlay Office District protects and
enhances older City neighborhoods along major and secondary thoroughfares
or proximate to commercial, cultural and employment centers. The O-O
District permits mixed residential and office uses. The traffic and
activity levels along some major and secondary thoroughfares decrease
the desirability for family living. The accessibility and exposure
provides an environment suitable for certain small-scale commercial
uses that can exist proximate to neighborhoods without adversely affecting
the residential environment. The preservation and rehabilitation of
sound structures promote increased use options while dwellings remain
the primary function of the district. The O-O District shall not be
independently mapped on the City of Rochester Zoning Map but shall
be overlaid upon an existing residential zoning district that is found
to be appropriate for such treatment.
The following uses and structures are permitted in the O-O District in existing structures only. The initial conversion is subject to site plan approval in accordance with the provisions of § 120-191:
The following uses are allowed as special permit
uses in the O-O District in existing structures only:
The lot, area and yard requirements of the O-O
District shall conform to the underlying district.
The building requirements of the O-O District
shall conform to the underlying district.
Personal wireless telecommunication facilities in the O-O District shall be regulated as outlined in § 120-143, Personal wireless telecommunication facilities.
