5.3.1 General Provisions

  1. Approach to Categorizing Uses
    1. Principal Uses

      Permitted principal uses by zoning district are set forth in Sec. 5.4, Principal Use Table. Permitted uses are grouped by use category. Use categories are not zoning districts; use categories classify land uses and activities based on common functional, product, and/or physical characteristics. Characteristics may include the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, likely impact on surrounding properties and site conditions. Use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning land uses to appropriate zoning districts. Specific uses may be further defined as set forth Article 13.0, Abbreviations and Definitions. Any use not specifically set forth in this Ordinance is expressly prohibited, unless determined otherwise as set forth in 5.3.1.b below.

    2. Accessory Uses

      Accessory uses are allowed in conjunction with a principal use and are subject to the provisions of Sec. 8.7, Accessory Structures and Uses.

  2. Uses Not Specifically Listed
    1. Individual uses are listed in Sec. 5.4, Principal Use Table and may be defined in Article 13.0 Definitions. Any use not specifically listed is expressly prohibited unless the City Manager determines that the use is similar to a permitted use listed in this Ordinance using the criteria in 5.3.1.b.ii. below. Where the similar permitted use is subject to any use standard contained in Article 8.0, Use Standards, or special use review, the proposed use shall also be subject to such standard and/or approval. The City Manager or his or her designee shall not amend this Ordinance by adding to or eliminating any use standard for the proposed use.
    2. Treatment of a use not specifically listed shall be determined by the City Manager or his or her designee applying the following criteria:
      1. The actual or projected characteristics of the activity in relationship to the stated characteristics of each group of uses.
      2. The relative amount of site area or floor space and equipment devoted to the activity.
      3. Relative amounts of sales from each activity.
      4. The relative number of employees in each activity.
      5. Hours of operation.
      6. Building and site arrangement.
      7. Types of vehicles used and their parking requirements.
      8. The relative number of vehicle trips generated.
      9. The likely impact on surrounding properties.
      10. Whether the activity is likely to be found independent of the other activities on the site.
    3. Where a use not listed is found by the City Manager or his or her designee not to be like any other permitted use, the use shall be permitted only following a text amendment to this Ordinance (see Sec. 3.7, Zoning Text Amendment).
  3. Developments with Multiple Principal Uses

    When there are multiple principal uses in a development or within the same building, each principal use shall be treated individually with respect to the standards in this Ordinance.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

5.10.1 District Descriptions

Residential Multi-family (RMF-)

The Residential Multi-family (“RMF-”) districts are established to allow multi-family development in addition to other types of residential development. The districts (RMF-1, RMF-2 and RMF-3) within the RMF- designation provide for varying development standards and generally the same uses with a few exceptions. The specific density (a whole number) shall be established at the time of rezoning. Such density shall be represented as a numeric suffix after the zoning district (e.g. RMF-3-14). With the exception of RMF-1, the RMF- districts are intended to be placed on higher classifications of streets and in close proximity to mass transit corridors, retail services and employment opportunities. The RMF-3 district is intended to be used primarily for institutional residential uses. A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed that are harmonious with multi-family residential areas.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

5.10.2 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Consistency

Residential Multi-family districts are allowed only in the Future Land Use Map Categories as shown below:

5.12.1 District Descriptions

The Traditional Neighborhood (“TN-”) districts are established to allow residential-oriented mixed-use development in areas that were established in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Residential uses are the foundation of the TN- districts, but each TN- district also allows a mix of non-residential uses. It is this mix of residential, commercial, and institutional uses that distinguishes TN- districts from Residential Single Family (RSF) and Traditional Residential (TR) districts. The TN- districts are listed below.

  1. Traditional Neighborhood-1 (TN-1)

    The TN-1 district is intended to ensure the vibrancy of historic residential neighborhoods with traditional development patterns characteristic of Savannah from approximately 1890 to 1920 during the streetcar era. While the district provides for primarily residential uses, it also includes limited non-residential uses that are considered compatible with the residential character of the neighborhood. The TN-1 district is intended for use only within the Victorian Historic Overlay District.

  2. Traditional Neighborhood-2 (TN-2)

    The TN-2 district is intended to ensure the vibrancy of historic residential neighborhoods with traditional development patterns characteristic of Savannah from approximately 1890 to 1930 during the streetcar and early automobile eras. While the district provides for primarily residential uses, it also includes limited nonresidential uses that were historically deemed compatible with the residential character of neighborhoods, including corner stores and mid-block ground floor office uses. The TN-2 district is intended for use only within the Streetcar Historic Overlay District.

  3. Traditional Neighborhood-3 (TN-3)

    The TN-3 district is intended to ensure the vibrancy of historic residential neighborhoods with traditional development patterns characteristic of Savannah from approximately 1890 to 1946 during the streetcar and early automobile eras. The district is intended to allow limited neighborhood-serving uses and mixed uses located in predominantly residential areas.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

5.13.1 District Descriptions

The Traditional Commercial (“TC-”) districts are established to allow commercial-oriented mixed-use development in areas that were developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Several factors, including location on higher classifications of streets, development standards that emphasize pedestrianism and the continuation of historic development patterns, combine to create a “Main Street” character within these districts. The TC districts are intended to be used in conjunction with nearby or adjacent TN and TR districts to create sustainable neighborhoods with convenient access to neighborhood-serving commercial uses. The intensity of uses allowed is indicated by the number following the district name, with the TC-1 being the most limited district and TC-2 the most intense. The TC- districts are listed below.

  1. Traditional Commercial-1 (TC-1)

    The TC-1 district is established to ensure the vibrancy of historic mixed use neighborhoods with traditional development patterns characteristic of Savannah during the streetcar and early automobile eras. The district provides for commercial areas that are developed at a mass and scale harmonious with nearby residential neighborhoods.

  2. Traditional Commercial-2 (TC-2)

    The TC-2 district is established to ensure the vibrancy of historic mixed use neighborhoods with traditional development patterns characteristic of Savannah during the streetcar and early automobile eras. The district provides for the creation of commercial corridors along higher classifications of streets that traverse historic neighborhoods.

5.14.1 District Descriptions

The Downtown (“D-”) districts are established to maintain, enhance and expand the development patterns and mixed use character of downtown Savannah and to encourage compatible infill development. Development standards within the D- districts are intended to continue historic patterns originating from the Oglethorpe Plan. Each D- district promotes a predominant land use activity (commercial, entertainment, or residential) while still allowing for other uses to locate in the district. The D- districts are intended for use within the Downtown Savannah Historic District and Downtown Expansion Areas. The D- districts are listed below.

  1. Downtown Residential (D-R)

    The D-R district is established to accommodate residential and limited non-residential uses in a downtown setting. This district recognizes the predominance of residential uses within certain areas of downtown and also acknowledges the historic inclusion of nonresidential uses. By continuing this land use pattern in the present day, the D-R district ensures that residential and non-residential uses can continue to co-exist harmoniously within the Downtown.

  2. Downtown Neighborhood (D-N)

    The D-N district is established to accommodate residential, mixed use and limited commercial development along certain arterial and collector streets that are adjacent to predominantly residential areas within downtown. Uses in this district are generally less intensive than those found in the D-C district, but more intensive than those found in the D-R district.

  3. Downtown Commercial (D-C)

    The D-C district is established to accommodate commercial, residential and mixed use development in areas of the downtown that have a business focus, but are outside of the Central Business District and Waterfront areas. Uses in this district are generally less intensive than those found in the D-CBD and D-W districts, but more intensive than those found in the D-R district.

  4. Downtown Central Business District (D-CBD)

    The D-CBD district is established to reinforce downtown Savannah’s position as the commercial hub of the metropolitan region. The district is intended to ensure harmonious development, redevelopment and rehabilitation of uses in the historic downtown core by integrating an appropriate mix of retail, office, entertainment, civic and residential uses.

  5. Downtown Waterfront (D-W)

    The D-W district is established to promote entertainment-oriented commercial development along River Street and Factors Walk. The D-W district emphasizes entertainment, lodging, and retail uses while also allowing an array of other compatible uses, including offices, upper story residential and marine-oriented businesses.

  6. Downtown Expansion (D-X)

    The D-X district is intended to promote the expansion of the Central Business District by accommodating larger buildings and additional uses. These areas are intended to be compatible and interconnected with the Downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

5.14.2 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Consistency

5.15.1 District Descriptions

The Office and Institutional (“OI”) districts are established to provide areas for offices and other low intensity commercial uses. Certain residential uses may be allowed in some districts. The OI districts are listed below.

  1. Office and Institutional-Transition (OI-T)

    The Office and Institutional-Transition (“OI-T”) district is established to facilitate the orderly transition of properties originally developed for residential use to limited nonresidential uses. These properties are located in areas where increased automobile traffic, road widening or other factors have diminished residential viability, resulting in the need for a transitional area to buffer surrounding residential properties.

  2. Office and Institutional (OI)

    The Office and Institutional (“OI”) district is established to allow office uses as well as a limited number of other uses that are compatible with an office environment. The OI district is intended to be located in close proximity to Nonresidential districts and may be used as a transition between such areas and Residential districts.

  3. Office and Institutional-Expanded (OI-E)

    The Office and Institutional-Expanded (“OI-E”) district is established to allow office uses as well as limited residential, group living, health care, educational, cultural, lodging and service uses. The OI-E district is intended to serve a transition district between the more intensive Nonresidential districts and less intensive districts.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

5.17.1 District Descriptions

The Industrial (“I-”) districts are established to allow industrial and industrial-like uses with limited non-industrial uses. The intensity of uses allowed is indicated by the suffix following the district name, with the Light Industrial-Restricted district being the most limited and the Heavy Industrial district the most intense. The I- districts are listed below.

  1. Light Industrial-Restricted (IL-R)

    The IL-R district is established to accommodate industrial properties that developed prior to 1960 and which are typically located adjacent to or within residential areas. This district may also allow limited commercial, light manufacturing and assembly, research and development and small-scale warehousing and processing uses in order to promote economic viability and encourage employment growth. Development must be operated in a clean and quiet manner, with all activities occurring primarily indoors, and should not be a nuisance to nearby non-industrial uses.

  2. Light Industrial-Transition (IL-T)

    The IL-T district is established to accommodate limited heavy commercial, light manufacturing and assembly, research and development, and small-scale warehousing and processing uses in order to promote economic viability, encourage employment growth, and limit the encroachment of non-industrial development within established industrial areas. This district is intended to serve as a buffer between more intensive industrial districts and less intensive business or residential districts. Development must be operated in a clean and quiet manner, with all activities occurring indoors, and should not be a nuisance to nearby non-industrial uses.

  3. Light Industrial (IL)

    The IL district is established to provide for a wide range of research and development, light manufacturing and assembly, warehousing, and wholesaling activities as well as some support services. These uses are subject to standards intended to ensure such development is compatible with adjacent and nearby non-industrial areas. Development must be operated in a clean and quiet manner, with most activities occurring indoors, and should not be a nuisance to nearby non-industrial uses.

  4. Heavy Industrial (IH)

    The IH district is established to provide sites for activities which involve large-scale warehousing, processing, manufacturing facilities, major transportation terminals and waste-related facilities that have a greater impact on the surrounding area than industries found in the IL-T and IL districts. It is the intent of this district to provide an environment for industries that is unencumbered by nearby non-industrial development.

Effective on: 1/1/1901
