NOTES TO TABLE  1 - Where garages are buried to the extent that the site area normally covered by garages can be occupied by other uses, each of the square footage requirements shall be reduced by 400 square feet.  2 - Square feet of land per unit. Ponding or unbuildable area shall not exceed 20% of required lot area per unit.  3 - Units per acre.  4 - Corner lot sideyard setbacks abutting a local access street shall be 20 feet. 5 Unoccupied architectural details, such as parapets or entry features comprising less than 40% of the lineal dimension of the front elevation, may have a maximum height of 35 feet.  * - See § A13-5(A)(2)

 

      (2)   Setbacks between multiple dwellings.

         (a)   The front and rear sides of a multiple dwelling shall have a minimum setback of 50 feet from any side of an adjacent multiple dwelling or a setback equal to the combined height of the adjacent multiple dwellings, whichever is greater, except that in no case shall a setback greater than 75 feet be required. This minimum setback shall be reduced to 40 feet where a horizontal extension of the lines created by the nearest exterior vertical surfaces of adjacent buildings would create an angle of not less than 45 degrees.

         (b)   Minimum setbacks between adjacent multiple dwellings on sides which are not a front or rear side of either building shall be 20 feet or a distance equal to half the combined height of the adjacent buildings, whichever is greater, except that in no case shall a setback greater than 50 feet be required. This minimum setback shall be reduced to 25 feet where a horizontal extension of the lines created by the nearest exterior vertical surfaces of adjacent buildings would create an angle of not less than 45 degrees.

      (3)   Maximum impervious surface, see § 155.350.

      (4)   Screening, see § 155.348.

      (5)   Landscaping, see § 155.349.

      (6)   Parking, see §§ 155.370 through 155.379.

      (7)   Lighting, see § 155.353.

      (8)   Off-street loading, see § 155.354.

   (B)   (1)   The following requirements are in addition to those in division (A) above. Where there may be a conflict, the requirements herein shall prevail:

      (2)   Side and rear setbacks, party walls. Buildings may be excluded from side and rear setback requirements if party walls are used and if the adjacent buildings are constructed as an integral structure. This shall not permit structures closer to single-family detached or duplex lots, however, than required under subsection (A)(1) above.
