• The minimum width of a corner lot under this provision would be 60 feet. This lot is just <br />short of that width; therefore, it does not qualify and would require at least that one <br />• variance, as well as rezoning. <br />• The setbacks for asingle-family dwelling would be 30 feet front and back, 5 feet east and <br />15 feet west. <br />• The maximum lot coverage for single-family property of this size is 30% or 3789.6 sq. ft. <br />What about a duplex? Would this use fit, if the property were rezoned residential? <br />Since a 2-family building is a "more intense" use than 1-family, the exception above <br />would not apply and the lot would need to be combined with adjacent property to build a <br />duplex. The alternative is a PUD. <br />• The lot does exceed the minimum area required (12,500 sq. ft.). <br />• A duplex would not have to meet the 30% lot coverage limit; it would be covered by the <br />75% limit. <br />What about townhomes or amulti-family building? What factors would indicate the <br />need for a PUD? <br />• • A lot width of 90 feet is required. This lot is less than 60 feet wide. See the excerpt <br />abover from 9-2.03. City Code requires combination with an adjoining lot in order to use <br />more intensively than single-family residence. <br />• Required setbacks in R-3 and R-4 are 30 feet on a street and 20 feet on the side abutting a <br />single family residence, which leaves too narrow a buildable envelope without some kind <br />of zoning adjustment, such as a PUD (The property on the east, although zoned R-4, is <br />used as asingle-family residence. If the R-3 setback rule is applied, the setback is 10 feet <br />or half the height of the building, which ever is greater.) <br />• The number of dwelling units could not exceed 12 per acre (in R-4). This lot is .29 acre, <br />which would permit 3 units. <br />• The 75% lot coverage limit would apply. This means a maximum of 9474 square feet <br />would be available for all structures, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, etc. <br />• Amulti-family building would have to meet the parking requirements of 2 parking spaces <br />per unit, plus setbacks, screening, access, lighting, etc. for parking lots and driveways. <br />• <br />
