Zoning in the Fifth Avenue area

The New Rochelle Code calls for the protection and promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare; adequate public facilities and services; family privacy; prevention of traffic congestion; protection from excessive monotony of building design, enhancement of the community appearance, and protection of the environment.
The Fifth Avenue area is zoned M-1, Light Manufacturing, which also allows intense commercial activity, but no residential use. The City Council, with the Planning Board, must review the proposed Large-Scale Retail district.
