NOTES TO SCHEDULE.
(a) See Section 1177.02 regarding flexibility allowances.
(b) For all uses permitted other than single-family residential, the setback shall equal the height of the main building or the setback required in this section, whichever is greater.
(c) In the case of a rear yard abutting a side yard, or when a side yard is adjacent to a front yard across a common separating street, the side yard abutting a street shall not be less than the required minimum front yard of the district in which located.
(d) The total number of rooms in a multiple-dwelling structure of two and one-half stories or less shall not be more than the area of the parcel, in square feet divided by 1,200. The total number of rooms in a multiple dwelling of over two and one-half stories shall not be more than the area of the parcel, in square feet divided by 600. Not more than ten percent (10%) of the units on any given parcel may be of an efficiency apartment type. For the purpose of computing rooms, the following shall control:
Efficiency and Modified Apartment Unit = one room
One Bedroom Unit = two rooms
Two Bedroom Unit = three rooms
Three Bedroom Unit = four rooms
Four Bedroom Unit = five rooms
Plans presented showing one, two or three bedroom units and including a den, library or other extra room shall count such extra rooms as a bedroom for the purpose of computing density.
The area used for computing density shall be the total site area exclusive of any dedicated public right of way of either interior or bordering streets.
(e) In RM-2 Districts the minimum front and rear yards shall be equal to the height of the building, except that where a front lot line abuts a street, one-half the width of the right of way of the street may be considered as front-yard setback, but in no instance shall any front or rear yard setback be less than twenty-five feet. In RM-1 and RM-2 Multiple-Family Residential Districts, the minimum amount of useable open space or recreation area per dwelling unit, exclusive of a required front yard, parking areas or driveways, shall be equal to 150 square feet of lot area per bedroom. A balcony or roof sundeck of fifty square feet or greater may be counted toward meeting the minimum amount of open space per dwelling unit. In all RM-1 and RM-2 Multiple Residential Districts, the minimum distance between any two buildings shall be regulated according to the length and height of such buildings, however, in no instance shall this distance be less than thirty feet. The formula regulating the required minimum distance between two buildings is as follows:
S = LA + LB + 2 (HA + HB), where
6
S = Required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of building A and any wall of building B or the vertical prolongation of either.
LA = Total length of building A.
The total length of building A is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of building A from which, when viewed directly from above, lines drawn perpendicular to building A will intersect any wall of building B.
LB = Total length of building B.
The total length of building B is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of building B from which, when viewed directly from above, the lines drawn perpendicular to building B will intersect any wall of building A.
HA = Height of building A.
The height of building A at any given level is the height above natural grade level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of building A. Natural grade level shall be the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building.
HB = Height of building B.
The height of building B at any given level is the height above natural grade level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of building B. Natural grade level shall be the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building. (Ord. 15-1973. Passed 3-5-73.)
(f) Off-street parking shall be permitted to occupy a portion of the required front yard provided that there shall be maintained a minimum unobstructed and landscaped setback of six feet between the nearest point of the off-street parking area, exclusive of access driveways, and the nearest existing and proposed right-of-way line as indicated on the Major Thoroughfare Plan.
(Ord. 63-1975. Passed 9-22-75.)
(g) No side yards are required along the interior side lot lines of the District, except as otherwise specified in the Building Code, provided that if walls of structures facing such interior side lot lines contain windows, or other openings, side yards of not less than ten feet shall be provided.
On a corner lot which borders on a residential district, there shall be provided a setback of twenty feet on the side or residential street. On an exterior side yard abutting a residential district or abutting a street there shall be provided a setback of ten feet in width.
(Ord. 15-1973. Passed 3-5-73.)
(h) Loading space shall be provided in the rear yard at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the gross floor area of the largest story or 200 square feet, whichever is greater and shall be computed separately from the area designated to meet off-street parking requirements; except in the instance of O-1 and O-2 Districts loading shall be provided at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the gross floor area of the largest story or 200 square feet, whichever is greater. (Ord. 106-1977. Passed 11-21-77.)
(i) No building shall be closer than twenty-five feet to the outer perimeter property line of such district, or to any major thoroughfare. (Ord. 63-1975. Passed 9-22-75.)
(j) Off-street parking shall be permitted in a required side yard setback.
(k) Off-street parking for visitors over and above the number of spaces required under Section 1183.01 may be permitted within the required front yard provided that such off-street parking is not located within six feet of the front lot line.
(Ord. 106-1977. Passed 11-21-77.)
(l) No building shall be located closer than fifty feet to the outer perimeter property line of such district when the property line abuts any residential district.
(m) All storage shall be in the rear yard and shall be completely screened with an obscuring wall or fence, not less than six feet high, or with a chain link type fence and a greenbelt planting so as to obscure all view from any adjacent residential, office or business district or from a public street.
(n) In the R-1, One-Family Residential District, the minimum side yard setback on lots of record as of November 2, 1970, with sixty-five foot frontage or less, shall be ten percent (10%) of the lot width. In no case shall the side yard setbacks be less than five feet on each side.
(o) Modified efficiency apartment units shall be those designated as Federal Elderly Housing at the time of approval.
