Section 11-1565. CHAIN BRIDGE ROAD/UNIVERSITY TERRACE OVERLAY DISTRICT (CB/UT)

 

1565.1The Chain Bridge Road/University Terrace (CB/UT) Overlay District is established to preserve and enhance the park-like setting of the Chain Bridge Road/University Terrace area by regulating alteration or disturbance of terrain, destruction of trees, and ground coverage of permitted buildings and other impervious surfaces, and by providing for widely spaced residences.

 

1565.2The purposes of the CB/UT Overlay District are to:

 

(a)Preserve the natural topography and mature trees to the maximum extent feasible in a residential neighborhood;

 

(b)Prevent significant adverse impact on adjacent open space, parkland, stream beds, or other environmentally sensitive natural areas;

 

(c)Limit permitted ground coverage of new and expanded buildings and other construction, so as to encourage a general compatibility between the siting of new buildings or construction and the existing neighborhood; and

 

(d)Limit the minimum size of lots so as to prevent significant adverse impact on existing infrastructure, especially on traffic and pedestrian safety and to achieve the other purposes listed in this subsection.
