Bradley City Zoning Code

ARTICLE IV

RESIDENCE DISTRICTS

Sec. 60-113.- Intent.

The residence districts provide for the development of various types of dwelling units within the framework of the official general development plan adopted on September 11, 1989, or as amended, designed to:

(1)

Provide housing of various types and price levels, which will serve different age and income groups and appropriately located in the village to accommodate current and future village residents.

(2)

Provide areas will be suited as to location and topography.

(3)

Maintain existing residence densities in established residential areas.

(4)

Provide for new residential land uses only in areas where such a land use is compatible, does not disrupt established neighborhoods, and where the necessary community facilities and services exist or can be easily provided.

(5)

Use higher density housing which has some flexibility in site design as a buffer-transitional use between lower density residential uses and other more intensive land uses.

(6)

Encourage modern trends in residential planning such as the planned development concept as a means to conservation of land, the reduction of development and housing costs, the reduction of the cost of providing public services and facilities and as a means of providing higher density usage without serious intrusion or disruption of existing or future single-family dwelling unit or neighborhood character.

(7)

Provide higher density residential opportunities in or near the central business area or the large shopping areas (town center) in order to create housing opportunities for the elderly and handicapped as well as provide a walk-in market to further support the town center concept.

(8)

Consider, redevelopment, and/or conversion of housing units situated on land areas better suited to other types of land uses.
