(A) General. This section establishes basic lot and building regulations that apply in C districts. These regulations offer certainty for property owners, developers and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed; they are not to be construed as a guarantee that maximum allowed densities and development yields can be achieved on every lot. Other factors, such as topography, the presence of protected resources, health department requirements for well and septic, off-street parking, landscaping requirements and other factors may further limit actual development potential.
(B) Basic standards. The lot and building standards of the following table apply to all principal and accessory uses allowed in C districts, unless otherwise expressly stated in this zoning ordinance. See § 155-18.10 for exceptions to these standards and rules for measuring compliance.
