Zoning & Permitted Uses: Residential Multi-Family (RM) District
The RM zoning designation at 18 Dorland Avenue is a developer's dream, offering both density and flexibility. By right, the parcel supports the construction of up to 10 residential units, with a maximum building height of approximately 40–45 feet—ideal for a boutique apartment building, townhome cluster, or stacked flats. Permitted Uses Include:
Multifamily dwellings (up to 10 units; potential for more with variance)
Family day care homes (subject to §210-65)
Hospitals, nursing homes, and alternate care housing (subject to §210-91)
Public utility structures (subject to §210-96)
Key Zoning Advantages:
Density: 10 units on 1.65 acres equates to ~6 units/acre—well-suited for mid-density multifamily or specialized residential
Height: 40–45 feet allows for three to four stories, maximizing rentable square footage and design flexibility
Alternative Uses: Healthcare, day care, and utility infrastructure permitted, expanding the buyer pool and exit strategies
Variance Potential:
Developers seeking higher density may pursue a variance for up to 20 or even 30 units, subject to municipal approval and parking requirements. Recent precedent in the area suggests that well-conceived projects with strong community benefit have a favorable path through the entitlement process.
