The minimum distance between any multifamily residential building in a multifamily development and the side or rear lot line, and the minimum distance between any multifamily residential buildings, shall vary and be related to the length and height of the buildings.
(a) Minimum Distance From Buildings to Side or Rear Lot Lines.
(1) The minimum distance between any multifamily residential building and the side or rear lot line shall be the greatest distance as determined by the formula:
Minimum Distance = 2L + 2H
5
Note: See Diagram No. 1 following the text of this chapter.
(2) The elements of such formula being defined as follows:
A. "Minimum distance" means the required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of a building and the nearest area side or rear lot line of the development area.
B. L" means the length of the side or rear lot line which will be intersected by lines drawn perpendicular to the lot line from the face or faces of any wall or walls of a building (2).
(b) Minimum Distance Between Multifamily Buildings.
(1) The minimum distance between any two multifamily buildings in the Low-Rise Multifamily District shall be the greatest distance as determined by the formula:
Minimum distance = L1, + L2 + 2 (H1 + H2)
5
Note: See Diagram No. 2 following the text of this chapter.
(2) The minimum distance between any two multifamily buildings in the Medium-Rise Multifamily District shall be the greatest distance as determined by the formula:
Minimum distance = L1, + L2 + H1 + H2
3
Note: See Diagram No. 2 following the text of this chapter.
(3) The elements of such formula are defined as follows:
A. "Minimum distance" means the required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of building (1) and the nearest wall of building (2) or the vertical prolongation of either.
B. "L1" means the length of building (1) which, for the purposes of the formula, is defined as the length of the portion or portions of any wall or walls of building (1) from which lines drawn perpendicular to the face of such wall or walls will intersect any wall of building (2).
C. "L2" means the length of building (2) which, for the purposes of the formula, is defined as the length of the portion or portions of any wall or walls of building (2) from which lines drawn perpendicular to the face of such wall or walls will intersect any wall of building (1).
(c) In no case shall the minimum distance between a residential building and a lot line and the minimum distance between residential buildings be less than the minimums established in the schedule set forth in Section 1164.07.
Such minimums shall apply if lines drawn perpendicular from the face of any wall of one building will not intersect the face of any wall of another building or lot line.
