NOTES TO TABLE: [1] While there is no maximum residential density in the mixed-use zoning districts, the number of residential units on a lot will be limited by the maximum FAR, maximum building height, required parking, minimum unit size requirements in the building code and other applicable development standards. [2] Maximum hospital height: 100 feet. [3] Only applies to new construction or an increase in footprint of an existing structure for an accessory dwelling unit. [4] Maximum 16 feet as measured according to § 155.112.070 (Height), or height of existing or proposed single- or multi-family residential structure, whichever is higher. [5] Four feet, or setback of existing residential structure, whichever is less, provided the setbacks as proposed are sufficient for fire and safety as determined by the Building Official and pursuant to the California Building or Residential Code.

 

   (B)   Maximum front setbacks. The following applies to new buildings in zoning districts with a maximum front setback requirement as shown in Table 208-2.

      (1)   Buildings shall be constructed at or within the required maximum front setback for a minimum of 50% of the lot’s linear street frontage. See Figure 208-1.

      (2)   The Director may modify or waive this requirement with an administrative adjustment. To approve the administrative adjustment, the Director must make the findings in § 155.412.030(F) (Findings for Approval) and the following additional findings:

         (a)   Unique physical conditions on the site require the modified standard to accommodate a development project consistent with the purpose of the applicable zoning district; and

         (b)   The project incorporates a front-facing courtyard or privately-owned public space between the front building wall and front lot line to provide a pedestrian-oriented environment. See Figure 208-2.

         Figure 208-1: Maximum Front Setbacks

      Figure 208-2: Front-Facing Courtyard or Privately-Owned Public Space

   (C)   Setbacks adjacent to residential zoning districts. All new buildings and additions to existing buildings adjoining a lot in a residential zoning district must comply with the setback standards in Table 208-3. See Figure 208-3.
