MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA RATIO FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS | |
DISTRICT | MAXIMUM FAR |
AG-l | 0.30 |
RS | 0.42 |
R-3 | 1.08 |
R-4 | 1.68 |
(C) Zero lot line — cluster developments. The fee simple transfer of ownership of a lot in an approved planned development with a zero lot line or a single-family detached cluster development is permitted provided the development meets the recording and permit requirements in this subchapter and the requirements of the subdivision regulations. Such developments shall comply to the following regulations:
(1) The minimum area of a lot shall not be less than 3,200 square feet for a zero lot line dwelling and 4,000 square feet for a cluster development. The minimum width shall not be less than 40 feet.
(2) There shall be no minimum side yard on one side (zero side yard setback) and a minimum ten-foot side yard on the opposite side for zero lot line dwellings. The minimum front yard shall be no less than 20 feet and the minimum rear yard shall be no less than ten feet for both a zero lot line and cluster subdivisions.
(3) A four-foot building wall maintenance/drainage easement shall be provided on a lot adjacent to the zero lot line property line, dedicated the entire length of the lot. With the exception of walls or fences, such perpetual maintenance easement shall be clear of structures and above ground utility appurtenances. This easement shall be shown on the final development plat and shall be incorporated into each deed transferring title to the property either as a covenant in the owner's certificate or in each deed transferring property in the planned development.
(4) Roof overhangs may penetrate the easement of the adjacent lot a maximum of 24 inches, but the roof shall be so designed that water runoff from the dwelling placed on the lot line is limited to the easement area or transported to an approved outlet.
(D) Common open space requirements for major planned developments.
(1) For major planned developments, in addition to required usable open space necessary to meet the open space ratio as established by the underlying zoning district for residential planned developments, a minimum of 10% of the gross site area shall be common open space in accordance with the design guidelines in Table 154-3: Planned Development Design Guidelines for Planned Developments.
(2) Major planned developments must contain a parcel designated as common open space which shall be not less than 6,000 square feet in area or less than 30 feet in its smallest dimension.
(3) Public parks and water surfaces such as ponds or lakes may count towards the required common open space if such water surfaces or park areas are adjacent and accessible to land that is designated as common open space in the development. In no case shall a public park or water surface comprise or be counted towards more than 50% of the required open space.
(4) All common open space shall be either:
(a) Conveyed to a not-for-profit corporation or entity established for the purpose of maintaining said common open space for the benefit and use of the owners and residents of the planned development, or adjoining property owners, or anyone or more of them by providing perpetual maintenance of all recreational open space in the project. All lands so conveyed shall be subject to the right of the owners within the planned development to enforce maintenance and improvement of the recreational open space; or
(b) Guaranteed by a restrictive covenant describing the open space and its maintenance and improvement running with the land for the benefit of residents of the planned development, or adjoining property owners.
(E) Design guidelines for planned developments.
Table 154-3: Planned Development Design Guidelines for Planned Developments contains design guidelines for planned developments. Since planned developments can be built at higher density and may contain uses not allowed on adjacent properties, design quality above the minimum otherwise allowedin zoning districts is necessary. It is intended that the planned development design guidelines provide a general outline of criteria needed to be addressed as part of the review of individual developments. It is recognized that not all of the design guidelines may apply to each planned development, but the intent of each section must be met as described in the purpose section of each guideline. Within Table 154-3: Planned Development Design Guidelines for Planned Developments, use of the word "shall" indicates a design guideline which must be met for all planned developments. Use of the word "should" indicates a design guideline which must be met unless the applicant demonstrates that the particular criteria is not applicable or impractical as applied to the particular planned development. Use of the word "may" indicates a design guideline which is desirable, but not required and may be requested in exchange for flexibility granted through the planned development.
