Article 50, Section 36 establishes the following Neighborhood Design Districts as overlays to residential subdistricts within the Roxbury Neighborhood District. The Neighborhood Design Districts are established to protect the historic character of these neighborhoods, which give Roxbury its unique architectural character. While development of housing within these Neighborhood Design Districts is encouraged, new construction or rehabilitation which preserves and complements the character of the existing housing stock will enhance the historic quality of these neighborhoods.
