NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF REGULATIONS:
(a) See the following sections regarding flexibility allowances in development within specified zoning districts:
Section 1298.02.Subdivision open space plan
Section 1298.03.One-family clustering option
Section 1298.035.One-family site condominium option
(b) For all nonresidential uses permitted in a Residential District, all setbacks shall be at least equal to the height of the main building, or when such measurement is less than the minimum setback requirements of the district, a setback equal to two additional feet for each ten feet or part thereof by which the length of the building wall exceeds the minimum setback requirement for the yard shall be provided, whichever is greater, except that no setback shall be less than the minimum setback required in the district.
(c) (1) All exterior side yards (street side, side yards) shall be provided with a setback equal to the front yard setback requirement of the district in which located, and all regulations applicable to a front yard shall apply. However, in a Residential District when two rear yards abut each other at a block end, the exterior side yard setback may be equal to the minimum interior side yard setback of the District. On corner lots within any residential zoning district, a fence not more than six feet, eight inches in height may be located within the non-addressed required front yard subject to approval of the Building Director, who shall consider adjacent driveways, sidewalks, traffic hazards, clear vison angles and topographic differences. When a nonresidential district abuts a Residential District, the exterior side yard setback in the nonresidential district shall be equal to one-half the corresponding yard set-back requirement of the abutting Residential District.
(2) In addition to the specified side yards, no residential structure shall be located closer than fifteen feet to another residential structure, except that said distance may be reduced to thirteen feet for residential structures with an attached garage, provided that said garage is attached to that side of the structure wherein the 13-foot standard is utilized.
(d) (1) In the RM Multiple-Family District, the total number of rooms (not including kitchen, dining and sanitary facilities) shall not be more than the area of the parcel, in square feet, divided by 1,550 for conventional multiple dwelling units and 450 for senior citizen dwelling units, and all public utilities must be available. All units shall have at least one living room and one bedroom, except that not more than ten percent of the units may be of an efficiency apartment type.
(2) For the purpose of computing the permitted number of dwelling units per acre in the RM District, the following room assignments and minimum floor area requirements, by dwelling unit type, shall apply:
Dwelling Unit Type Room Assignment Minimum Floor Area
Efficiency 1 room 500 sq. ft.*
One-bedroom 2 rooms 675 sq. ft.
Two-bedrooms 3 rooms 800 sq. ft.
Three-bedrooms 4 rooms 1,000 sq. ft.
*Minimum floor area required for senior (elderly) housing unit.
(3) For each additional bedroom over three an additional eighty square feet of floor area shall be provided.
(4) Plans depicting one, two or three-bedroom units and including a den, library or other extra room shall count such extra room as a bedroom for the purpose of computing density.
The area used for computing density shall be the total site area less any dedicated interior or exterior public road right of way.
(e) In the RM District, each structure in the dwelling group shall front either on a dedicated public street or approved private drive. An approved private drive is defined as a nondedicated hard-surfaced drive or road.
In the RM District, the maximum overall horizontal length of any one building or group of buildings attached together over any portion of a common party wall, or other architectural feature which attaches buildings together, shall not exceed 180 feet, measured through the centerline of the building.
Within any required front, side or rear yard setback from any property line in an RM District, not more than thirty percent of any such peripheral yard area shall be used for off-street parking, maneuvering lanes, service drives, loading areas or combinations thereof.
It is further required that off-street parking or related drives shall not be located closer than twenty-five feet to any wall of a dwelling structure which contains openings involving living areas, nor closer than eight feet to any such wall that does not contain openings. No off-street parking, maneuvering lanes, service drives or loading areas shall be located closer than twenty feet from any public street right-of-way line and eight feet from any other property line.
In the RM District, the minimum distance between any two buildings shall be regulated according to the length and height of such buildings, and in no instance shall this distance be less than thirty feet. However, if there is a corner-to-corner relationship between such buildings, the minimum distance between the two buildings shall be fifteen feet regardless of any architectural feature that may connect the buildings. The formula regulating the required minimum distance between two buildings in the RM District is as follows:
L + L + 2(H + H)
S = A B A B, where
6
S = Required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of building A and any wall of building B or the vertical prolongation of either.
L
A = Total length of building A.
The total length of building A is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of building A from which, when viewed directly from above, lines drawn perpendicular to building A will intersect any wall of building B.
L
B = Total length of building B.
The total length of building B is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of building B from which, when viewed directly from above, lines drawn perpendicular to building B will intersect any wall of building A.
H
A = Height of building A.
The height of building A at any given level is the height above the natural grade level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of building A. Natural grade level shall be the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building.
H
B = Height of building B.
The height of building B at any given level is the height above the natural grade level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of building B. Natural grade level shall be the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building.
(f) Except where otherwise provided in this Zoning Code, the minimum lot area and width and the maximum percent of lot coverage shall be determined on the basis of off-street parking and loading, greenbelt screening, yard setback or usable open space requirements as set forth in this Zoning Code.
(g) Off-street parking shall be permitted in the front yard of the RO, C-1, C-2 and C-3 Districts to a point not less than ten feet from the front property line.
No off-street parking shall be permitted in the front yard of an M-1 District, except that up to five parking spaces exclusively marked for visitor parking and required handicapped parking spaces may be located in the front yard, provided that no such parking shall extend into the required front yard setback of the District.
(h) Off-street parking shall be permitted in any side or rear yard, except that exterior side yards shall be subject to the front yard set-back requirements of the district and all regulations applicable to a front yard shall apply.
(I) No interior side yard setback shall be required when a building wall has no openings. If openings are provided in an interior building side wall, a minimum setback of ten feet shall be provided.
(j) Where the rear of a parcel abuts an improved public alley, the right-of-way width of the alley may serve as the rear yard setback, and except as otherwise set forth herein, no rear yard shall be less than that required in the district. In the Industrial Districts, any wall of an industrial building facing a corresponding Residential District shall be set back from the corresponding Residential District a distance equal to three feet of horizontal distance for each foot of wall height.
