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.)
The following shall apply to multi-household dwellings in a planned unit development:
A. No multi-household building shall be erected, reconstructed or converted for use as a dwelling unless the following minimum gross floor areas per dwelling unit are provided:
Type of Dwelling Unit | Minimum Gross Floor Area (sq. ft.) |
Efficiency Suite | 500 |
One Bedroom | 600 |
Two Bedroom | 900 |
Three Bedroom | 1,200 |
Four or More Bedroom | 1,500 |
Total gross floor area shall be considered the sum of the areas for residential use on the several floors of a building or buildings measured from the faces of the exterior walls.
B. The total gross floor area includes:
1. Halls, lobbies, stairways and elevator shafts;
2. Basement or lowest story, to the extent they are used for residential use; or
3. Enclosed balconies and porches.
C. The total gross floor area does not include:
1. Any terrace, patio, atrium, porch or balcony which is not enclosed;
2. Any area for special purpose for common use of all occupants, such as recreation, library, infirmary, laundry or storage;
3. Any garage or carport; or
4. Any area used for major mechanical equipment.
