C. Open Space Requirements for the R-3 and R-4 Zones.
1. Common and Private Open Space Required. All developments in the R-3 and R-4 zones shall provide both common and private open space areas consistent with the requirements of this subsection. No front yard areas, either as part of a required setback or otherwise provided, shall count toward the open space requirement. Any required side and rear setback areas may be counted as part of required open space, provided the minimum open space dimensions, accessibility, and landscaping improvements and maintenance requirements are met.
2. Common Open Space Standards. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the following standards shall apply:
a. Common open space shall be required for developments having nine or more units.
b. Common open space shall be provided at a ratio of 200 square feet of open space per one dwelling unit. Any single common open space area shall have minimum dimensions of 20 feet by 20 feet.
c. Such common open space shall be located in an area within the development that is easily accessible to all residents.
d. Common open space areas shall be provided with landscaping and other improvements that meet the needs of the residents. All such landscaping and improvements shall be maintained in a safe and usable condition.
3. Private Open Space Standards. In the R-3 zone, a minimum of 100 square feet of private open space per bedroom shall be provided for every dwelling unit. In the R-4 zone, a minimum of 50 square feet of private open space per bedroom shall be provided for every dwelling unit. Such private open space may consist of a yard, patio, or private balcony, provided such feature has minimum width and depth of six feet.
D. Carport Storage in R-3 and R-4 Zones. Where a carport or carports are provided for vehicle parking for any development in the R-3 or R-4, zone, each carport shall include an enclosed lockable storage area of minimum size of 150 square feet. Such storage area shall not impede access to or occupy any portion of the required parking spaces.
E. Placement of Accessory Structures.
1. Interior Lot. In all residential zones, any non-habitable, non-garage accessory structure placed within the rear third of an interior lot may be built abutting one side line and the rear lot line. However, if the rear lot line abuts an alley, such accessory structure shall be erected no closer than five feet from the rear lot line. See Section 10.14.030.B (Setback from Alley Centerline) regarding detached garages.
2. Corner Lot. In all residential zones, any non-habitable accessory structure on the rear third of a corner lot may be built abutting the interior side lot line. A minimum distance of five feet shall be maintained between the structure and the rear lot line.
3. Reversed Corner Lot. In all residential zones, any non-habitable accessory structure on the rear third of a reversed corner lot may be built abutting the interior side lot line and the rear lot line. However, if the rear lot line abuts an alley and vehicular or pedestrian access to the accessory structure is available from the alley, such accessory structure shall be erected no closer than five feet from the rear lot line. If vehicular or pedestrian access entrance to such accessory structure is directly from the side street side, then the accessory structure may abut the rear lot line.
4. Detached Accessory Garage. For any detached accessory garage located on a corner lot or reverse corner lot, the side of the garage that provides vehicular access from a street shall have a minimum setback of 20 feet from that street.
F. Flag Lot Dimensions and Setback Measurements.
