11C-1457 Area, Width and Setback Regulations

Density-Based Alternative Development Option Property in the Hillside Estates (HE) zone/district may also be subdivided using the following density-based method. Subdivisions may be divided such that the resulting density for the subdivision is in accordance with the density ratio in Table 2. Subdivisions based on density determinants are designed to help protect the city’s basic zoning density and also provide some flexibility for lot sizes within a zone. A. Minimum Lot Size. A subdivision divided by using this density-based method may be divided such that all of the lots are at least the minimal size according to the Table 2. Lot may be larger than these minimal lot sizes but may not be smaller. B. Maximum Number of Lots in the Subdivision. Regardless of the size of the lots in the subdivision, the development may not have more lots than is allowed by computing the total area of the subdivision, less the Non-Buildable Area in the subdivision and multiplying that by the ratio in Table 2. The total number of lots allowed within a development shall be based on the following table which recognizes that approximately 10% of the land in a subdivision is used for roads and other improvements. The base acreage for density determination is the total acres in the parcel less any “Non-Buildable Areas” as defined in 11A-200. “Number of lots” is synonymous with “number of dwelling units”. Table 2 – District HE Allowed Density in Lots per Acre 1.20 Minimum Lot Size in Sq. Ft. per lot 20,000 Minimum Setbacks Front Side Rear 15 & 15 30 C. Rounding. If the number of lots computed results in a fraction of a lot, the number of allowed lots is rounded (up or down) to the nearest whole number of lots. Results ending in exactly 0.5 may be rounded up. D. Building Lot Requirements. Development under the provisions of this DensityBased Method shall be subject to all other applicable ordinances and regulations which govern development activities within the city.
