Section 22-81 Establishment of districts.
In order that the purposes of this chapter as defined in section 22-4 may be accomplished, there are hereby established within the City the zoning districts identified as follows:
(2) R-1A Single-family residential. The purpose of this district is to provide single-family residential areas with minimum lot sizes of fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet, such areas being protected from the depreciating effects of small lot development and excessive density and from the encroachment of those uses which are incompatible to a desirable residential environment. (3) R-1B Single-family residential. The purpose of this district is to provide single-family residential areas with minimum lot sizes of ten thousand (10,000) square feet, such areas being protected from the depreciating effects of small lot development and excessive density and from the encroachment of those uses which are incompatible with a desirable residential environment. (4) R-1 Single-family residential. The purpose of this district is to provide single-family residential areas with minimum lot sizes of seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet, such areas being protected from the depreciating effects of small lot development and excessive density and from the encroachment of those uses which are incompatible to a desirable residential environment. (5) R-2A Multifamily residential. The purpose of this district is to provide orderly development of high density residential areas for one (1), two (2), and multifamily dwellings, such areas being protected from the encroachment of those uses which are incompatible to a desirable residential environment. (6) R-2 Multifamily residential. The purpose of this district is to provide orderly development of high density residential areas for one (1), two (2), and multifamily dwellings as well as professional offices, such areas being protected from the encroachment of those uses which are incompatible to a desirable residential-professional environment. (7) C-1A Limited business districts. The purpose of this district shall be to create an area in which residential, business, professional, educational, and institutional uses can be compatibly mixed while maintaining a healthful living environment for the residents of the district and at the same time preventing the development of blight and slum conditions. (8) C-1 Commercial. The purpose of this district shall be to provide and protect convenient areas for community shopping facilities consisting of a wide variety of sales and services. (9) C-2 Commercial. The purpose of this district shall be to enhance and protect shopping facilities in the central business district of the City. (10) M Manufacturing. The purpose of this district shall be to provide and protect areas for those industrial or other uses which do not create excessive noise, odor, smoke, dust, and which do not possess other objectionable characteristics which might be detrimental to surrounding neighborhoods, or to the other uses permitted in the district. (11) M-1 Manufacturing. The purpose of this district shall be to provide and protect areas for those industrial uses which cannot comply with the regulations of the M district. (12) MH Zone (One-family manufactured housing residential district). The purpose of this zone is to provide a zone where lots may be purchased by individuals for the purpose of permanently locating a manufactured home or constructing a single-family residence with minimum lot sizes of seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet. (13) L.U. Zone. The purpose of this zone is to allow the applicant to request that a certain area be designated as “Limited Use” (L.U.), which area, after having been recommended by the planning and zoning commission and approved by the City Council, must be used for only those conditions prescribed by the City Council, which uses must be among those uses permitted in the zone from which the limited use zone is taken. Provided, further, however, that should any area designated as “limited use” fail to be used continuously for the limited use or uses approved by the City Council pursuant to this subsection, the subject area shall automatically revert to the zoning district from which the subject area was taken and designated “limited use.” Any applicant for a limited use may ask for and receive consideration by the planning and zoning commission under the same terms and conditions prescribed for any rezoning request. The applicant may in all eventualities attach to his application a site plan, architectural renderings or such other material as might be of assistance to both the planning commission and the City Council in their considerations. (14) R-TH Townhouse district. The purpose of this district shall be to: a. Encourage home ownership in the City through innovative housing arrangements which utilize design and building concepts which may be different from the standard single-family residence concept; b. Provide a wider variety of types of dwelling units than are available at the time of the enactment of the ordinance establishing this district; and c. Allow for innovative uses of real property which may not be suitable for development for other kinds of residential use. See section 22-206 et seq. for development standards. (15) R-CD Cluster housing. The purpose of this district shall be to provide savings in infrastructure installation, land resources and energy use through the allocation of dwellings, construction and physical impact to a given tract of real property to permit variation in lot size, shape, width, depth, and building setbacks without an increase in overall density of population or development while ensuring to the greatest extent possible compatibility with adjacent developments and existing neighborhoods. See section 22-231 et seq. for development standards. (16) R-TND Traditional Neighborhood Development. The purpose of the TND District is to create an innovative residential zoning classification that will: a. Encourage a pattern of neighborhood development that will be consistent with the traditional qualities of the City of Thomasville Historic Districts and that will be compatible with surrounding residential areas of the City. b. Be distinguished from other residential zoning districts through a unified plan for a neighborhood that includes a diversity of land uses and lot sizes, housing types and sizes to accommodate persons of a variety of stages of life in a pedestrian-oriented setting that is well integrated with the City’s neighborhoods, parks, civic spaces, and commercial uses. c. Result in fewer burdens on present and projected public services and utilities than would result from conventional subdivision development. See section 22-235 et seq. for development standards.
