(A) General.
(1) Unless otherwise noted, area standards are in square feet.
(2) The “minimum average lot area per dwelling unit” is intended to provide reasonable flexibility in the form of ownership while establishing a maximum overall density.
(3) This table establishes minimum standards for lot area, lot width and yard width for principal uses. See also § 157.042 for additional standards for subdivision of land in the AR and RR Districts; and § 157.043 for additional standards for subdivision of land in the LR2 District.
(4) Around the bulb of an approved cul-de-sac turnaround, the minimum lot width at the minimum building setback line may be reduced by 40%, provided, however, that the minimum lot width prescribed in this table is maintained at the front yard setback proposed by the subdivider.
(B) Residential uses.
