Infill
Infill
In the new zoning code, effective Feb. 2024, Charlottesville refers to allowances specifically in the terms of units, rather than building type. This allows for a wider range of interpretation and innovation in housing types (assuming they align with building standards and zoning ordinances for the zoning district).

What is Infill?
Gentle Infill by Lincoln Institute of Land Policy provides policy strategies and case studies.
Missing Middle Housing by Opticos contains information on different housing types with ideal specifications and case studies.
A note on PUDs: Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) are commonly regarded as zoning overlays that offer flexibility in standards to stimulate development in specific municipal areas. While PUDs typically allow for mixed-use developments, higher-density housing, and efficient land use, this consideration of infill policy primarily centers on higher-density housing types such as attached dwellings (townhomes), duplexes, triplexes, multifamily units, and bungalow courts.
