435 Ray Ave #435, Circleville, OH 43113

Historic Neighborhood Single Family Residential District

(a) The R-4 District is established to provide for the continuance of single-family housing and reinvestment within the older portions of the City of Circleville, and expansion of such uses at densities consistent with existing development, thereby encouraging the revitalization of older neighborhoods and increasing the diversity of housing choice, while maintaining adequate development standards. This district could also be used to allow for new development in peripheral areas by meeting standards intended to promote the neighborhood character of such new development.; (b) It is recognized that property in the R-4 District is located in the older areas of the City, and that such areas are likely to be characterized by patterns of mixed land use. Many of these mixed uses are the result of past development practices and might not be allowed under the current provisions of this Zoning Ordinance. It is the intent of this Zoning Ordinance, and this district in particular, to protect and preserve the basic property rights of such existing nonconforming uses. Specific provisions are made for the continuance, substitution and extension of such use, pursuant to Chapter Nonconformities and Section 713.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.
