TR - Town Scale Residential - The TR Town Residential District encompasses an area primarily characterized as low to medium-density single-family residential units with an average density of slightly less than three dwelling units per acre. Approximately one-quarter of the district is unimproved, with parcels ranging from less than one-tenth of an acre to more than twenty-three acres. Consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan to make more efficient use of the Town's land resources and increase the supply of affordable housing, the district standards enable the district's character to transition over time to that of the General Urban and Urban Core Transects discussed in the Comprehensive Plan. Base zoning standards protect existing neighborhoods from incompatible development and add two-family residential and accessory dwelling units as a by-right use. At the same time, development options provide an opportunity for context-appropriate infill and redevelopment with missing middle housing unit types, accessory dwelling units, and mixed-use development in planned communities on larger parcels. District standards also provide for public buildings, schools, churches, open spaces, public recreational facilities, accessory uses, and the like that are necessary or usually compatible with residential surroundings.
