§ 157.042 R-4 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

   The R-4 Residential District is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for single-family structures. The regulations of this district are intended to provide areas of the community for those persons desiring relatively small residential lots. The regulations are intended to discourage any use which, because of its character, would interfere with the residential nature of this district.

   (A)   Permitted uses and structures.

      (1)   Single-family dwellings;

      (2)   Public elementary, junior and senior high schools;

      (3)   Churches and related uses; and

      (4)   Public parks, playgrounds, playfields, and neighborhood, community and municipal or other public buildings and uses in keeping with the character and requirements of the district.

   (B)   Permitted accessory uses and structures. Uses and structures which:

      (1)   Are customarily accessory and clearly incidental and subordinate to permitted or permissible uses and structures;

      (2)   Do not involve the conduct of business on the premises, except home occupations; and

      (3)   Are located on the same lots as the permitted use or structure, or on a contiguous lot in same ownership.

   (C)   Special use. After a public hearing, as required in § 157.012(G)(4), other uses may be permitted under a special use if, in the opinion of the Zoning Authority, the proposed use is not offensive or incompatible in keeping with the character of the district.

   (D)   Dimensional requirements.

      (1)   Lot area. Minimum required lot area shall be 10,000 square feet.

      (2)   Lot corner. See § 157.090(D) for requirements.

      (3)   Lot width. Minimum required lot width shall be 70 feet.

      (4)   Yard requirements.

         (a)   Minimum required depth of front yard: 25 feet.

         (b)   Minimum required width of side yard: 10 feet.

         (c)   Minimum required depth of rear yard: 15 feet.

      (5)   Maximum lot coverage. Single-family structures and their accessory buildings shall be 30%. All other permitted or permissible buildings in connection with permitted or permissible uses, including their accessory buildings, shall be 30%.

      (6)   Building height. No building shall exceed 35 feet in height except for flagpoles, antennas, chimneys and similar accessories to buildings, which are exempt from this height limitation.

   (E)   Off-street parking and unloading. Off-street parking and unloading shall be provided in accordance with the requirements in §§ 157.080 and 157.082.
