(A) General. The following property development standards shall apply to all land and buildings, other than accessory buildings, permitted in their respective Residential Zones; except that, any lot shown on an official subdivision map that was duly approved and recorded; or any lot for which a bonafide deed was duly recorded in conformance with the zoning in effect prior to the date of adoption of this code may be used as a building site; excepting therefrom any lot having an area of less than 4,000 square feet. For access purposes, each building site shall have a minimum 30-foot wide easement or right-of-way. A turnaround with a minimum radius of 25 feet shall be provided at the end of each easement over 150 feet in length. No fences or other obstructions shall be placed in the easement area, except with written permission of all other property owners served by the easement. For any parcel of land created after 1-3-1995, an access road to the parcel must be provided prior to the delivery of any combustible building materials. Said access road must be constructed to an all weather standard.
(B) Special requirements.
(1) In the RS Zone, other lot sizes larger than 6,000 square feet may be specified and designated on the Official Zoning Map by attaching a number designation following the zone classification. (For example, RS-15,000, RS-40,000 or RS-5 (five-acre minimum lot size).) Permitted and conditional uses, property development standards, performance standards and all other requirements and regulations for these alternate zone classifications with the exception of the minimum parcel size, shall be the same as those specified in this code for the zoning classification with the next lower minimum parcel size. (For example, RS-15,000 would have RS-10,000 requirements and RS-40,000 and RS-5 would have RS-36,000 requirements.)
(2) Use of a travel trailer or recreational vehicle as a temporary or permanent residence is prohibited.
(3) In any Residential Zone, a building used for public or semi-public uses shall maintain a minimum setback of 50 feet from any single-family use.
(4) In any Multiple-Family Residential Zone, a mobile, manufactured or modular home may not be used as a main or guest dwelling or accessory living quarters, except in remote areas on parcels larger than two acres where one manufactured or modular home may be allowed with the granting of a conditional use permit. If the property is later developed with multiple-family residential housing, the manufactured or modular home shall be removed.
(5) In the RS Zone, on lots of one acre or larger, horses or other domestic farm-type animals shall not be kept in the front yard or street side yard areas. Keeping animals shall also be subject to Coconino County Health Department regulations.
(6) A building permit, as required by the Building Code, shall be obtained prior to the construction, reconstruction, alteration or change in use of any building or other structure.
