(A) Within the R1-Z Single-Family Residential Zoning District, a zero lot line development is allowed. The intent of the R1-Z District is to permit and establish regulations for comprehensively planned single-family tracts with zero side yard building setbacks (in R1-Z zoned districts only).
(B) The principal purposes of the zero lot line concept are:
(1) The more efficient use of land, as compared with the typical single-family development, making available needed housing at an affordable cost;
(2) The design of dwellings to integrate and relate internal/external living areas resulting in more pleasant and enjoyable living facilities; and
(3) By placing the dwelling against one of the property lines, permitting the outdoor space to be group and utilized to its maximum benefit.
