Roswell City Zoning Code
ARTICLE 4.
CORRIDOR AND NODES DISTRICTS
4.1.1. - RX-: Residential Mixed Use
RX- is intended for residential living in a townhouse, walk-up flat or stacked flat. RX- implements the Highway 9/Alpharetta Highway Corridor Commercial, GA 400/Holcomb Bridge Road Node, Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140, and Historic Area Town Center/Downtown designations on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.1.2. - NX-: Neighborhood Mixed Use
NX- is intended primarily to provide for neighborhood-serving retail and commercial uses at intensities compatible with abutting or adjacent residential development. To help limit the extent of the district and to maintain the commercial integrity, residential uses are limited to upper stories of mixed use buildings only, and to help ensure that uses are truly neighborhood serving, individual tenant footprints cannot exceed 15,000 square feet. NX- implements the Suburban Residential and Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 designations on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.1.3. - CX-: Commercial Mixed Use
CX- is intended to provide for a variety of residential, retail, service and commercial uses. While CX- is primarily a commercial/retail district, the inclusion of residential and employment activity is strongly encouraged in order to promote live-work and mixed use opportunities. CX- implements the Highway 9/Alpharetta Highway Corridor Commercial, GA 400/Holcomb Bridge Road Node, Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 and Historic Area Town Center/Downtown designations on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.1.4. - SH-: Shopfront Mixed Use
SH- should be used sparingly and is intended for areas where a high level of walkability and pedestrian activity is desired. The SH- district is intended to create a "main street" type of environment, therefore, only single-story shopfronts and mixed use buildings are allowed. SH- implements the Highway 9/Alpharetta Highway Corridor Commercial, GA 400/Holcomb Bridge Road Node, Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 and Historic Area Town Center/Downtown designations on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.1.5. - CC-: Commercial Corridor
CC- is intended for areas along major arterials where a variety of lower intensity commercial, service, retail and multi-family uses are desired. CC- allows a maximum of two bays of on-site parking with a single drive aisle between the building and the street. CC- implements the Highway 9/Alpharetta Highway Corridor Commercial, GA 400/Holcomb Bridge Road Node and Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 designations on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.1.6. - PV-: Parkway Village
PV- is intended to provide for enhanced development standard along the SR 92 corridor. The district standards provide for uniform landscaping and urban design. PV- implements the Parkway Village Overlay District SR92 - Corridor designation on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.1.7. - CH-: Commercial Heavy
CH- is intended for the City's most intense auto-oriented and heavy commercial uses. To help provide additional housing opportunities within close proximity to major employment and retail nodes, CH- also allows multi-family. There are no restrictions on parking location. CH- implements the Highway 9/Alpharetta Highway Corridor Commercial, GA 400/Holcomb Bridge Road Node and Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 designations on the Future Development Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
4.2.1. - Applicability
Each Corridor and Node District is comprised of the following components:
A.
Form and use (RX-, NX-, CX-, SH-, CC-, PV-, CH-); and
B.
Height (-3, -4, -6 -8).
C.
The CX (Commercial Mixed-Use) district shall require 51% of the square footage of a development to be commercial/retail.
D.
If the proposed mixed-use development includes multiple parcels, a Subdivision Review in accordance with Sec. 13.5 is required to be completed prior to submission of the conditional use request. If the proposed mixed-use development includes existing buildings, uses, or infrastructure that are required to meet the square footage of non-residential uses then those existing buildings, uses or infrastructure must comply with all other applicable sections of this UDC, and the conditional use request must include all applicable conditional use requests or concurrent variances as required by the current UDC.
(Ord. No. 2020-07-11, § 1, 7-13-2020; Ord. No. 2022-07-10, § 1, 7-25-2022)
4.2.2. - District Height Requirements
A.
The height designation establishes the maximum height in feet and stories for each district. For example, CX-3 has a maximum height of 45 feet or 3½ stories and CX-6 has a maximum height of 79 feet or 6 stories. Each district must include one of the following height designations.
•
3 45 feet / 3½ stories max

C.
Stacked flats, mixed use buildings and general buildings may exceed the district height limit by a maximum of 2 stories subject to approval through the conditional use process (see Sec. 13.4.).
D.
A neighborhood compatibility bulk plane may apply when abutting a protected district (see Sec. 4.4.).

(Ord. No. 2018-07-09, § 1, 7-9-2018)
4.2.3. - Application of Height Designations

Specifically, the hearing must follow required notice of public hearing procedures specified in Sec. 13.4. Petitioners must present sufficient evidence to:
a.
Verify that the property is configured in such a manner that it is not physically feasible to combine and develop the small tract of land with abutting property to create a larger tract of land, so that even if a parcel of land 7 acres in size with 400 feet of road frontage cannot be assembled, the resulting assemblage of the tract with abutting property will result in the largest tract which is feasible to combine, or
b.
Present a site plan of the proposed improvements and a tree protection plan together with sufficient information that the development of the tract as proposed will result in a better land use than if the small tract were combined with abutting property;
2.
Upon a finding by the Mayor and City Council that (i) the tract cannot feasibly be combined with abutting property to create a larger tract of land, or (ii) development of the tract as proposed will result in a better land use than if the small tract were combined with abutting property, the petitioner will receive approval to develop in accordance with this section subject to such reasonable conditions as may be imposed by Council, and will be entitled to develop as a small tract development.
3.
Where the small tract abuts an existing or approved village consisting of non-single-family uses, the property to be developed must mimic the architectural features of similar uses of the adjacent villages;
4.
Small tracts shall provide the required streetscape established in this UDC;
5.
An area consisting of a minimum of 15 percent of the tract size shall be dedicated to required buffers (the area required for a streetscape shall not be included);
6.
Rear buffers adjacent to the perimeter of the district shall not be less than 40 feet;
7.
Use of the property shall be limited to those uses specified for the Parkway Village District.
D.
