The Senior Living Homestead zone is intended to apply large contiguous parcels capable of new development as single, unified projects. This zone shall provide housing for seniors (fifty-five years of age and older) with a focus on the continuum of care. This zone will allow for a range of new housing types for seniors including single-family, multi-family, congregate care and mixed-use residential opportunities. This zone will also allow limited commercial activities designed and sized to serve the senior living community. Projects in this zone shall cluster development to avoid impacts to streams, wetlands and other critical areas, as well as to provide substantial open space. Projects within the zone shall reflect the historic agricultural nature of the zone through site design, architecture, signage and use configuration.
