1. To achieve the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, most zoning districts are based upon The Rural-to-Urban Transect, a commonly used system for organizing form-based zoning districts. These are referred to as transect districts or transect zones.
2. Additional zoning districts are available for properties that, by the nature of their use, location, or development pattern, should continue to be regulated principally by use. These are referred to as special purpose districts or zones.
3. The purpose and intent of transect districts is:
   1. To support, restore, and revitalize historic neighborhoods, downtowns, and main streets;
   2. To direct new development to create new neighborhoods, downtowns, and main streets that are walkable, bikeable, and supportive of public transit, not only accessible by cars;
   3. To ensure compatibility among neighboring properties by controlling the height and arrangement of buildings as opposed to use alone;
   4. To utilize land efficiently to preserve rural and natural areas;
   5. To utilize streets and utility infrastructure efficiently to reduce the long-term maintenance burden on the City of Rogers; and
   6. To direct development to be compact, reducing the per-person cost of providing municipal and life safety services.
4. The purpose and intent of special purpose districts is to:
   1. To strategically provide for uses dependent on vehicular support; and
   2. To provide a location for uses that can have a negative impact on adjacent uses.

1. The City of Rogers is divided into the following transect districts, mapped on the “City of Rogers Official Zoning Map”.
2. Regulations specifying zoning districts beginning with “T” include a primary identifier (T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6) and may include a secondary identifier (such as T3.1 and T3.2), applied as follows:
   1. Regulations that specify only the primary identifier of a zone without a secondary identifier apply to all secondary identifiers (e.g. T5 means T5.1 and T5.2);
   2. Regulations that specify the primary and secondary identifier only apply to the specific sub-zone specified by both the primary and secondary identifier (e.g. T5.2 does not apply to T5.1); and
3. Regulations may mix specifications for only primary identifiers with other primary and secondary identifiers (e.g. T4 and T3.2). Such conditions are evaluated independently for each instance (e.g. T4 applies to T4.1 and T4.2, while T3.2 does not apply to T3.1).

Table 4.6.A below outlines permitted principal uses by district by indicating "P". Uses prohibited are identified as blank cells. The use-specific standards in the right column should always be consulted prior to determining whether the use is allowable or feasible on any given property.

(Ord 25-35, 7-8-2025)

Accessory uses, functions, and structures are those customarily found in association with the principal use of a property and which are subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to the principal use. The Director is expressly authorized to determine when an accessory use is permitted or prohibited. Accessory uses are not regulated any further by this UDC except as follows:

1. To establish additional or alternative building and site design requirements within specific areas of the community.
2. In case of conflicts between the standards of an overlay district and other requirements of this code, the standards of the overlay district prevail.
3. Overlay district standards apply only to sites within the district, as specified in the official zoning map.
