(A) Building coverage: 30% maximum. Building coverage includes all habitable space, carports, garages, recreation buildings, and the like. It does not include uncovered patios and decks, swimming pools, tennis courts, fountains and the like.
(B) Vehicular use area: (Non-pervious) 30% maximum.
(C) Required design features:
(1) Paved sidewalks (with a minimum width of four feet) shall connect all buildings, parking lots and tenant facilities.
(2) In addition to the required sidewalks in division (D)(1) of this section, the following list is an indication of desired amenities and design features. Actual projects may contain some or all of these. The size of the project, as well as its unit mix, will require different amenity and design packages. The role of the Planning and Zoning Board in its site plan review is to ensure that projects will provide a well-designed package of features for its residents including the following: full masonry construction, tile or metal roofs, porches for each ground level unit, balconies for all units above ground level, and clubhouse and recreation center.
(3) Recreational vehicle and boat storage shall be provided at the rate of 300 square feet per 30 dwelling units or fraction thereof. The location, design and screening of this area shall be included on the site plan and approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. This requirement may be waived by the Board provided the site plan contains a prohibition of the storage of these and similar items.
(D) Parking: The Planning and Zoning Board shall determine that parking is to be distributed throughout the project and must be shown to be convenient and accessible from all units and amenities. Parking garages and other covered parking may be counted as required parking if they are not tandem spaces. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tandem parking spaces may be counted only with the express approval of the Planning and Zoning Board provided the tandem parking spaces are compatible with the surroundings, satisfy the needs of the development, and provide sufficient access.
(E) In R-MF Districts, the first five feet of a required front or street side yard, adjacent to a street, shall be landscaped, and shall not be used for parking except on lots developed with a one-family or a two-family dwelling; but this five-foot, landscaped strip may be crossed by sidewalks and driveways reasonably necessary for access to buildings and permissible parking areas. Other portions of required yards may be used for accessory parking. This regulation shall apply only to streets designated as traffic ways by the City Commission.
