§ 156.B.004 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
   (A)   Generally. Table 156.B.004-1, Residential District Lot and Building Standards, establishes the dimensional standards for the various housing/building and development types in the residential zoning districts. Except as provided in § 156.B.008, Measurements and Allowances, and § 156.B.006, Development Types, no lot shall be reduced in size so that its area, width, setback requirements, gross density, or other requirements of Table 156.B.004-1 are not maintained.
   (B)   Setbacks related to driveways and garages. A minimum setback of 20 feet shall apply where a driveway provides access on a residential property from a street, other than an alley. This maintains an adequately sized parking space on the driveway between the structure and the street and helps to avoid encroachment into public sidewalks, despite lower minimum setback standards in Table 156.B.004-1 for the remainder of the building. See § 156.D.003(C) for specific requirements for garage orientation and placement.
   (C)   Measurements and allowances reference. Refer to § 156.B.008, Measurements and Allowances, for explanations of, and special provisions related to, the measurements and standards in Table 156.B.004-1.
