INFORMATION: The Lloyd Broad Neighborhood Overlay District, established in June 2018, supports Carrboro's goals of fostering cohesive neighborhoods. Key provisions include reducing front yard setbacks to 15 feet, capping building height at 23 feet, limiting new construction to 1,750 square feet, requiring two parking spaces, and restricting unrelated occupants to four per home. Reports on the district's effectiveness were provided in June 2020 and September 2023 (Attachment A), with no complaints or violations reported since. The only new construction is the Pee Wee Homes project. Police and Fire Department calls were routine and unrelated to the district.
