§ 17.04. AREA, HEIGHT AND BULK REQUIREMENTS.  


Latest version.
  • A. The minimum size of each lot per building:
    1. Area: 40,000 square feet.
    2. Width: 140 feet.
    B. Maximum height of any structure:
    1. In stories: 2.
    2. In feet: 30.
    (Building height may exceed 30 feet, provided that the front, rear and side yard setbacks are increased three feet for each one additional foot of building height.)
    For development of more than one building, height limit zones shall be delineated on a site plan. The zones shall be based on considerations of architectural character, natural light, air circulation, views, solar access, relation to neighboring buildings and fire protection and safety. The proposed height of each building shall be shown on the site plan.
    C. Minimum building floor area:
    1. Area: 5,000 square feet.
    D. Minimum yard setback per lot:
    1. Front and street-side setbacks shall be measured from the centerline of each road right-of-way (R.O.W.) in accordance with the city’s Master Road Plan, as follows:
    Distance from centerline:
    a. Regional (204' R.O.W.): 137 feet.
    b. Regional (150' R.O.W.): 110 feet.
    c. Major: 95 feet.
    d. Secondary: 78 feet.
    e. Collector: 70 feet.
    f. Local: 65 feet.
    g. Cul-de-sac: 95 foot radius.
    h. Freeway: 35 feet.*
    i. Private roads: 35 feet.**
    * Freeways shall be measured from the established right-of-way line.
    ** In the case of private roads, the front yard setback shall be measured from the road easement or common usage line abutting the subject lot.
    The required front yard shall be landscaped and maintained thereafter in a neat and orderly condition. Parking shall not be allowed within the required front yard setback. If the existing right-of-way is greater than that shown on the Master Road Plan, the front yard setback (or street-side setback) as measured from the centerline of the right-of-way shall be equal to one-half of the actual right-of-way of the street plus 35 feet for all classes of roads.
    2. Side: 25 feet one side; 100 feet total. No building shall be located closer than 75 feet to the outer perimeter (property line) of such district when such property line abuts any residential district.
    3. Rear: 75 feet. No building shall be located closer than 100 feet to the outer perimeter (property line) of this district when such property line abuts any residential district.
    E. Maximum lot coverage: the maximum lot coverage shall be governed by meeting all requirements for yard space, landscaping, screening, off-street parking and loading. The location of buildings and uses and distances between buildings shall be as shown on the site plan. Distances between buildings shall be sufficient to meet fire regulations and to provide for natural light, air circulation and solar access.
