The net site area available for development into residential lots and other uses shall be computed by subtracting from the gross site area the amount of land area needed for street rights-of-way. The average percentage for street rights-of-way in conventional subdivision developments to be subtracted from the gross site area is considered to be twenty (20) percent. However, in a planned unit development, the actual area for street rights-of-way to be provided may be subtracted from the gross site area to determine the net site area available for development.
To determine that portion of the net site area available for residential development, the acreage to be developed as educational institutions, religious places of worship, government buildings or any similar uses shall be subtracted from the net site acreage.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
Individual lots may be reduced in area below the minimum lot area required for the zoning district, provided that the density of dwelling units per net acre is not greater than would be allowed if the site were developed under the district requirements. Lot areas within planned unit development projects shall not be varied or reduced in area more than thirty (30) percent of the lot size required in the zoning district regulations. Thus the minimum lot areas for planned unit developments within the respective corresponding residential districts shall be as follows:
District | Minimum Net Lot Area (sq. ft.) |
COS | 30,000 |
R-LD | 6,125 |
R-MD | 5,250 |
R-UD | 3,000 |
R-TH | 7,000 |
R-MHL, R-MHH | 30,000 |
The net area of a lot shall be computed exclusive of any portion of the right-of-way of any existing public or private street, or any proposed rights-of-way.
The minimum lot widths at the building setback line within the respective districts shall as follows:
District | Minimum Lot Width (sq. ft.) |
COS | 90 |
R-LD | 55 |
R-MD | 50 |
R-UD | 30 |
R-TH | 50 |
R-MHL, R-MHH | 100 |
All lots shall have a lot depth to lot width ratio not greater than three and one-half to one.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
The minimum width of side yards shall be as follows:
A. For single-household and two-household detached residential dwellings, the minimum width of each side yard shall be five (5) feet.
B. For multi-household buildings, the minimum width of each side yard shall be twenty (20) feet. (See building orientation and separation requirements.)
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
A perimeter transitional yard no less than fifty (50) feet in depth shall be maintained along all property lines defining the perimeter of the gross site area of the entire planned unit development. Such yard shall be landscaped and unoccupied by any principal or accessory building or parking area.
Where a planned unit development abuts a commercial or industrial district, the perimeter transitional yard shall be effectively landscaped or fenced, to a minimum height of six (6) feet, to serve as a buffer strip separating the two uses.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
