The zoning of property as RP-1N, Planned Single-Family Infill Residential District, is intended to encourage renewed investment in established Overland Park neighborhoods in the form of new, compatible, single-family development. It is envisioned that this district will be used for large-scale infill and redevelopment and not on a lot-by-lot basis. Flexibility from the traditional single-family residential district standards is offered to maintain single-family character where site and development characteristics might otherwise discourage single-family development. Property zoned RP-1N shall be provided with public sanitary sewers prior to, or concurrent with, development.

The RP-1N District is intended to be located on residential property shown as Medium-Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan or on lots with existing duplex zoning. Where lot widths and setbacks are in context with existing single-family developments, the RP-1N district may be considered within areas shown as Low-Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan as a buffer between uses of different intensities or where development constraints such as access, topography, drainage issues and infrastructure availability warrant design flexibility.
