River Corridor with Street Corridor Overlay (RCSCO)

Purpose:

The purpose of the River Corridors and Other Green Areas District is to accommodate appropriate development while providing for adequate protection and buffering of the City’s waterways and other natural resources; assist in flood management; protection of environmentally sensitive areas; and meet the need for local and regional greenways, open space, and recreation within the City. The Street Corridor Enhancement Overlay District’s purpose is to accommodate medium- and high-intensity development at the gateways to the City and along the principal vehicular and pedestrian corridors, and to promote compact, walkable, mixed-use buildings with local and regional commercial services, compatibly scaled light industrial, and residential uses. See § 595-17 River Corridors and Other Green Areas (RC) District. See § 595-25: Street Corridor Enhancement (SC) Overlay District.
