59-C-5.34. Setbacks in the I-3 and R&D zones.

   (a)   All buildings, off-street parking, loading and maneuvering areas must be set back from lot lines in accordance with the standards shown in the following schedule:

	Buildings	Parking, Loading, and Maneuvering Areas
(1) From abutting residentially zoned property:
-Recommended for one-family zoning and development on the applicable master plan.	200'	100'
-Recommended for residential zoning and development, other than one-family, on applicable master plan.	100'	100'
-Recommended for nonresidential development in the I-3 or R&D zone on the applicable master plan:	20'	20'
However, if proposed building is more than 40 feet in height then 1 foot of additional building setback for each 2 feet of height	1:2	20'
-Recommended for non-residential development in a commercial or industrial zone other than I-3 or R&D on the applicable master plan.	25'	25'
-Developed with nonresidential uses, including off-street parking.	50'	50'
If the abutting residentially zoned property is developed with residential uses, the Planning Board may require greater than the minimum setback, not to exceed 200 feet, to achieve compatibility between the residential development and the proposed industrial development.
(2) From abutting commercial or industrial zoning other than the I-3 or R&D zones.	25'	25'
(3) From an abutting lot classified in the I-3 or R&D zones:	20'3	20'4
-If proposed building is more than 40 feet in height then 1 foot of additional building setback for each 2 feet of height.	1:23	20'4
(4) From the following roadways as shown on the approved and adopted master plan:	200'	100'
-An existing or planned limited access freeway1	200'	100'
-A major highway in the I-3 zone.	100'	100'
-A major highway in the R&D zone	50'	50'
-An arterial road separating the I-3 and R&D zones from:
-Existing one-family residential zoning and development	100'	50'
-Residential zoning or development other than one-family residential	50'	50'
-An arterial road that separates the zone from a commercial or industrial zone.	25'	35'2
-An arterial road, local street, or private street within the I-3 or R&D zones	25'	35'2
-A transitway	25'	25'

 

   (b)   Two buildings on the same lot must be set back from each other a distance of at least 30 feet.

______________________________________

1   One hundred feet from interchange ramp for buildings and 50 feet from interchange ramp for parking. The setback for parking structures may be reduced below 200 feet but not below 100 feet upon approval by the planning board.

2   Off-street parking is permitted between a building and a street identified on an approved preliminary plan of subdivision as providing access for public transit service unless the Planning Board determines that the location of the parking will discourage or adversely affect public transit use.

3   Where development in the I-3 Zone consists of multiple lots created by the same subdivision plan, the setback requirement from abutting lot lines for all buildings may be reduced by the Planning Board during site plan review pursuant to the applicable provisions of Division 59-D-3 if it is demonstrated that the reduced setback is compatible with existing and proposed development. The Planning Board must not reduce the building setback to less than 10 feet.

4   Where development in the I-3 Zone consists of multiple lots created by the same subdivision plan, the setback requirement from abutting lot lines for all parking loading and maneuvering areas may be reduced by the Planning Board during site plan review pursuant to the applicable provisions of Division 59-D-3 if it is demonstrated that the reduced setback is compatible with existing and proposed development.
