A zero setback may be considered, in which case two or more buildings on separate parcels, either built simultaneously or at different times, would abut each other. In establishing the reduced setback, the Planning Commission shall consider the impact of any reduction on the arrangement of buildings, parking, site access and circulation, landscaping, property maintenance and the overall quality and marketability of the proposed development. To consider a parcel of land in a joint development, the Planning Commission must have written authorization from each property owner stating that the development proposal on each parcel may be considered as part of the joint development.

The developer is encouraged to raze any/all existing structures prior to re-development. Any re-use of an existing single-family residential use must have the conversion of the structure and the new use approved as a conditionally permitted use by the Planning Commission.

   (E)   Refer to Special Planning District Zoning § 1283.06 for building design guidelines that apply to C-6 District.
