Description:

Abstract:

This Downtown Design Overlay District is intended for properties adjacent to the Downtown Historic District of the City of Durham. The regulations of the overlay district either supplement, or replace, the regulations of the underlying zoning district, as described herein. The DDO is divided into the following three areas DDO-1, DDO-2, and DDO-3.

Purpose:

The Downtown Design Overlay (DDO) is established to provide for a transition of uses between the Downtown Historic District and nearby uses, which surround the downtown. It is the intent of the DDO to encourage intense development and pedestrian activity through a mixture of uses appropriate to the downtown area.

Supplemental_Information:

The Downtown Design Overlay is described in Section 4.8 of the Unified Development Ordinance.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The DDO data was screen digitized from the cadastral map maintained by the Durham Tax Assessors Office. As the data was digitized, hardcopy plots were quality control checked by the City staff and corrections made.

Completeness_Report:

The precise location of a district boundary line is to be determined as follows: (a) Where a boundary line is shown as binding along or superimposed upon a lot line, such lot line shall be deemed to be a boundary line. (b) Where the location of a boundary line is indicated by a designated number of feet, that distance shall control. (c) Where a boundary line is shown as within or binding along a street, alley, or stream, such boundary line shall be deemed to be in the center of such street, alley or stream, except in the cases where the side of such street, alley or stream is designated as the boundary line. (d) Where a boundary line is shown as binding along a railroad track, or as being located a designated number of feet from a railroad track, or where the location of a boundary line may be scaled from a railroad track, the nearest rail of the track designated shall control. (e) Where a boundary line is superimposed on a topographic elevation line, the precise location of the boundary line shall be determined by the field survey of the topographic elevation line, unless the topographic elevation has been relocated through grading subsequent to establishment of the zoning boundary line. (f) Where a boundary line is shown and its location is not fixed by any of the rules in (a),(b),(c),(d), or (e) of this section, its precise location shall be determined by scaling from fixtures, objects or other features shown on the maps. (Section 10-2163 of the City of Durham Code)
