Downtown Residence Districts (DR-1, DR-2, DR-3). In order to maintain a viable downtown area, stable residential neighborhoods must be protected and enhanced. The purpose of the DR Districts is to protect existing residential uses and to encourage the redevelopment of blighted or under-utilized sites for new residential usage. It is also the purpose of these districts to encourage pedestrian linkages between residential neighborhoods and the business, cultural and entertainment core of Downtown. It is the intent of the DR Districts to retain a real and perceived sense of neighborhood in urban-oriented residential areas by excluding most non-residential uses. It is also the intent of these districts to enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods through establishing compatible architectural and site design elements and regulating residential densities. The numerical designators -1, -2, and -3 are applied to the DR Districts to represent different development intensities. 2.
