In a Class B-5 Senior Citizen District, land and structures shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following regulations regarding the required distances between buildings and other uses.
(A) Definitions and Measurement Standards. As used in this section:
“Facing walls.” Means those two overlapping walls for which the length of overlap is the greater. Although more than one set of walls may be overlapping in relationship between two buildings, only one set of two walls shall be considered facing.
“Length of overlap.” Means the length of the portion of one wall from which perpendicular lines will intersect a second wall. In determining the length of overlap, the minimum possible overlap shall be used for computation.
“Main wall.” Means any exterior wall of a residential building containing principal windows of a living, dining or sleeping room.
“Overlapping wall.” Means a wall of one building overlapping a wall of a second building when perpendicular lines extended from the first wall intersect the second wall.
“Secondary wall.” Means any exterior wall of a residential building, other than a main wall, containing minor windows of a dining or sleeping room, principal or minor windows of a kitchen or bathroom or no windows.
(B) Schedule of Distances. The minimum distance between walls of main buildings and other walls or uses shall be as set forth in the following schedule:
Building Wall | Other Wall or Use | Minimum Distance (ft.) |
Building Wall | Other Wall or Use | Minimum Distance (ft.) |
Main wall, facing | Accessory building | 30 |
Another main wall | 40X | |
Private road ** | 30 | |
Recreation facility | 30 | |
Secondary wall | 30X | |
Surface parking area | 10 | |
Secondary wall, facing | Accessory building | 20 |
