In addition to the provisions of Chapter 1272, the following standards for the arrangement and development of land and buildings are required in the Two-Family Residential District.
(a) Lot Area and Coverage. For each dwelling unit there shall be a lot area not less than 4,500 square feet. Only one principal use shall be permitted on a lot, and such lot shall not be covered more than 30% by structure.
(b) Lot Width. For a two-family lot there shall be a lot width of 80 feet or more at the front line of the dwelling, and such lot shall have access to and abut on a public right-of-way for a distance of 50 feet or more. For a conditional use, the lot width shall be adequate to meet the development standards for the Two-Family Residential District.
(c) Side Yards. For dwellings or associated accessory buildings there shall be a total of side yards of 15 feet or more, with a minimum of five feet on one side.
(d) Rear Yards. For main buildings there shall be a rear yard of 25% or more of the lot depth, except that a rear yard of more than 50 feet shall not be required.
(e) Maximum Height. No dwelling structure shall exceed 35 feet in height. The maximum height for other structures shall not exceed a safe height as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(f) Reduction of Development Standards. It is encouraged that two-family developments be done in a planned, coordinated fashion with provision for open space and play areas to be included within the site development concept. At the applicant’s option, the lot area per dwelling unit may be reduced to 4,000 square feet; provided that a useable centralized open space or play area is provided at the ratio of 250 square feet per dwelling unit. This reduction in lot area and lot frontage and the provision for an open space concept shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
