Eastlake Residential District
Purpose and Intent
The EB District is intended to promote a mix of retail, office and residential uses along the traditional main street of the Town of Eastlake. The zone regulates land use and design to promote appropriate preservation and encourage redevelopment consistent with the established character of the area. Adjacent to a major transit corridor, the EB zone district is intended to encourage a pedestrian scale environment with building types and uses that are sensitive to the nearby residential neighborhood. This district is intended to implement the land use goals, policies and recommendations for the Eastlake Neighborhood adopted in the Eastlake Subarea Plan. Additional guidelines for development in Eastlake are contained in the Eastlake Subarea Plan. This district includes:
- A vertical mix of uses on the same lot or within the same project.
- Reduced parking requirements for a mix of uses and proximity to a major transit line. All parking must be located in the rear of buildings.
- A zero-foot front setback along Lake Avenue.
- Pedestrian scale buildings and streetscaping requirements.
