Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010 developments internal to the neighborhood and the possibility of a larger multi-family development along Anderson Road. Large-scale multi-family developments would be incongruent with the current and proposed land uses. Some possible solutions to the existing zoning and future land use issues would be to consider the RDV zone inside the city limits and a compatible zone in the county. An overlay zone could also deal with design issues that would preserve the single-family look and feel of the neighborhood while preserving some flexibility of underlying use. 35 Continuing the community legacy and leadership
Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010 5.1.5 Housing Development Activity For the most part, new housing development in Sterling consists of scattered new construction by regional and local non-profit housing agencies. The northern portion of the neighborhood has been influenced by increased investment in the West End Neighborhood and by commercial investment along Pendleton Street. This area of Sterling has experienced at least two major redevelopment projects—a condominium development on Arlington Avenue between Memminger and Mallard Streets, and a series of new homes on Judy Street just north of Dunbar Street. New Houses on Judy Street The southern portion of the neighborhood has had fewer new houses constructed and less housing maintenance. Absentee landlords who have not made property improvements own much of the rental property. This disinvestment has been furthered by a lack of public investment in the community’s infrastructure. Also, struggling homeowners are unable to undertake essential home maintenance. While there are current programs and partners available to assist with property maintenance issues and tenant rights, there is a need for greater coordination and sharing of information on the appropriate programs, agencies and application processes. 5.1.6 Mission/Goals Future investment in the neighborhood should be guided by the following goals in order to revitalize the Sterling Neighborhood and promote housing opportunities that will retain existing residents and attract new ones: • Preserve the current housing stock of the neighborhood wherever possible. Although the housing fabric of Sterling is not architecturally significant, it represents a special sense of place and must be respected to ensure a continued feeling of community and neighborhood identity. • Encourage increased housing opportunities for home ownership and an improved balance between housing ownership and rental. The overall goal is to provide a range of housing opportunities and types. • Ensure sanitary, safe and energy-efficient housing for homeowners and renters. Promote home maintenance programs, encourage responsible management of rental properties, and enforce applicable building maintenance codes. • Encourage diverse housing types within the neighborhood to provide housing for persons of all ages and life needs. • Encourage quality building rehabilitation and new construction that complements existing buildings and the context of the neighborhood, and incorporates EarthCraft, Energy-Star, and Universal Design standards. 36 Continuing the community legacy and leadership
