The R-O Residential/Office Districts are designed to afford
a transition of use in existing housing areas by permitting new construction
or conversion of existing structures. This district recognizes the
existence of older residential areas of the City where larger houses
have been or can be converted from single-family and two-family residences
to low intensity office uses in order to extend the economic life
of these structures and allow the owners to justify the expenditures
for repairs and modernization.
