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.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
The total gross residential floor area within a planned unit development shall not exceed the maximum areas prescribed below for the respective corresponding districts:
District | Gross Floor Area Per Acre of Net Site Area (sq. ft.) |
COS | 1,200 |
R-LD | 6,000 |
R-MD | 7,000 |
R-TH | 7,000 |
R-MHL | 9,000 |
R-MHH | 18,000 |
If the planned unit development is to be located in more than one existing residential district, the permitted gross floor area shall be separately determined for each portion of the gross site area that is in a separate district. These figures must then be combined to determine the total gross floor area that would be permitted on the site if developed under the district regulations. This total gross floor area shall then be divided by the total number of gross acres comprising the site to determine the gross floor area permitted per acre of land contained within the net site area.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
