NOTES:
[1]   For lots in recorded subdivisions or approved planned developments (PDs) approved prior to (adoption date of 2011-05), the setbacks and lot sizes, and maximum densities shown in this table shall not apply, and the requirements shown on the final plat, outline plan, or conditions on existing lots shall govern.
[2]   The front building face or wall should be placed within the front facade zone. The dimensional requirement closest to the street is the minimum front building setback.
[3]   For mixed use and single use nonresidential building types, the front building setback shall be measured from the back edge of the sidewalk, not the right-of-way line.
[4]   To ensure infill compatibility, where the average front yard for existing adjacent residential buildings is outside of the ranges indicated, the minimum and maximum front yard setbacks shall instead be between 85 and 115% of the average front setback distance from the street established by the existing adjacent homes, unless otherwise modified by the PC or BMA, as applicable.
[5]   There shall be a minimum of 0 feet each side, with a minimum of 10 feet between detached buildings.
[6]   Within a side yard setback bay windows, porches, balconies, fire escapes, and steps projecting not more than 36 inches from an exterior wall for a distance not more than one-third if the length of such wall, provided a minimum of 10 feet between buildings is maintained.
[7]   All floor space provided on the ground floor of a mixed use building shall have a minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 11 feet.
[8]   The maximum height of buildings within traditional zoning districts shall be based on the special areas in the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan as follows, and measured in stories from the average grade of the front facade to the eave of the highest story, not including a basement or an attic. Height limitations shall not apply to those elements as regulated in § 151.005(D).    Special Area                           Maximum Height    4                              2.5 stories    2, Part of 3 on the south side of Washington St.               4 stories    1, Part of 3 on the north side of Washington St., 5 - 20            3 stories

The buffer yard shall contain a mixture of evergreen trees, evergreen shrubs and an opaque masonry wall or fence to be approved by the Historic District Commission or Design Review Commission, as applicable.
[10]   See § 151.210 (C)(13) and the Design Guidelines for proper garage placement and setback from an alley or road.
[11]   Setbacks, lot widths, or lot sizes beyond the ranges presented in this table or its footnotes, may be modified through the site plan process by the BMA, or the subdivision platting process by the PC, in cases where topographical or natural constraints exist, or where a particular design approach recommended by the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan warrants a different setback, lot width, or lot size.
[12]   1,200 square feet is the minimum lot size for vertically attached units on a fee simple lot. There is no minimum lot size for other forms of attached residential units (such as stacked flats, apartments, lofts and condominiums) or mixed use structures; however, these forms shall instead be regulated by the maximum residential density based upon the applicable special areas in the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan.    Special Area               Maximum Number of Dwelling Units Per Acre (DU/A)    1                  15 DU/A    2 and 3                  18 DU/A    5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18            12 DU/A    All other special areas            N/A The BMA may approve density levels for attached dwellings and mixed use building types above the maximum residential on a case-by-case basis provided that following criteria are met:    (a)   Sufficient infrastructure exists to serve the proposed development, including, but not limited to, water and sewer systems, streets and traffic signalization, and stormwater management systems; and no excessive burden is placed on parks, recreation areas, schools, police and fire protection and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the development;    (b)   The proposed development is consistent with the applicable special area and character area policies and recommendations, and character studies found in the adopted Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan; and    (c)   The proposed development is consistent with the traditional design principles found in Chapter 6 of the adopted Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan are met.
