(a) Explanation. An overlay district establishes an additional zoning district with a set of lot and building regulations that in some instances replace and in other instances rely on those regulations established in the conventional "base" residential zoning district so that any parcel of land lying in a Residential Infill Overlay District shall also lie in a base residential district. The City's Residential Infill Overlay District provides relaxed development standards for pre-existing lots of record for the construction of single-family and two-family residential uses.
(b) Location of Residential Infill Overlay District. The Residential Infill Overlay District shall apply to all parcels of land zoned R-75, R-60, R-50, or R-40 where infill housing is to be encouraged.
(c) Relationship to Base Districts. In the Residential Infill Overlay District, development standards of the base zoning district are to be replaced by those outlined in the Residential Infill Overlay District for all pre-existing lots of record where single-family and two-family residential development is proposed, so long as the development does not qualify as a planned unit residential development, and no new road is to be established.
(d) Relationship to Other Development Standards.
(1) All of the provisions of the South Euclid Zoning Code that are applicable to the underlying base district shall apply to residential infill development projects, except as specifically modified in this chapter.
(2) To the extent that these regulations conflict with other standards in this Code, these regulations shall apply.
(Ord. 14-23. Passed 12-11-23.)
(a) Permitted Principal Uses. Regulations governing permitted principal uses shall conform to those set forth in Section 721.01
