A. Plan Overlay Zones. There are four Land Use Designation Overlay zones within the Normal Neighborhood Plan, intended to accommodate a variety of housing opportunities, preserve natural areas and provide open space.

1. Plan NN-1-5 Zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to create, maintain and promote a single-family dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of housing types is allowed, in addition to the detached single dwelling. Development standards that are largely the same as those for single dwellings ensure that the overall image and character of the single-family dwelling neighborhood is maintained.

2. Plan NN-1-3.5 Zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to create, maintain and promote single-family dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of housing types is allowed including multiple compact attached and/or detached dwellings. Dwellings may be grouped around common open space promoting a scale and character compatible with single-family homes. Development standards that are largely the same as those for single-family dwellings ensure that the overall image and character of the single-family dwelling neighborhood is maintained.

3. Plan NN-1-3.5-C Zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to provide housing opportunities for individual households through development of multiple compact attached and/or detached dwellings with the added allowance for neighborhood-serving commercial mixed-uses so that many of the activities of daily living can occur within the Normal Neighborhood. The public streets within the vicinity of the NN-1-3.5-C overlay are to provide sufficient on-street parking to accommodate ground floor neighborhood business uses.

4. Plan NN-2 Zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to create and maintain a range of housing choices, including multifamily housing within the context of the residential character of the Normal Neighborhood Plan.

B. Allowed Uses.

1. Uses Allowed in Normal Neighborhood District. Allowed uses include those that are permitted, permitted subject to special use standards, and allowed subject to a conditional use permit. Where Table 18.3.4.040 does not list a specific use and part 18.6 does not define the use or include it as an example of an allowed use, the City may find that use is allowed, or is not allowed, following the procedures of section 18.1.5.040, Similar Uses. All uses are subject to the development standards of the zone in which they are located, any applicable overlay zone(s), and the review procedures of part 18.5. See section 18.5.1.020, Determination of Review Procedure.

a. Permitted Uses. Uses listed as “Permitted (P)” are allowed.

b. Permitted Subject to Special Use Standards. Uses listed as “Permitted Subject to Special Use Standards (S)” are allowed, provided they conform to chapter 18.2.3, Special Use Standards.

c. Conditional Uses. Uses listed as “Conditional Use Permit Required (C)” are allowed subject to the requirements of chapter 18.5.4, Conditional Use Permits.

d. Prohibited Uses. Uses not listed in Table 18.3.4.040, and not found to be similar to an allowed use following the procedures of section 18.1.5.040, Similar Uses, are prohibited.

2. Uses Regulated by Overlay Zones. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 18.2.2, Base Zones, additional land use standards or use restrictions apply within overlay zones. An overlay zone may also provide for exceptions to some standards of the underlying zone.

3. Mixed-Use. Uses allowed in a zone individually are also allowed in combination with one another, in the same structure or on the same site, provided all applicable development standards and building code requirements are met.
