NaperView,-TWdq?vn Taskforce-Full Report:Attachment 1 httpW www.naperville.il.us/DCD/teardown/attack l.htm FAR/Maximum Lot Coverage All of the communities surveyed (with the.exception of Downers Grove)utilized either floor area ratios or lot coverage requirements to regulate the amount of building that can occur on a lot. Naperville does not currently utilize either method to control bulk in its residential districts. Required Setbacks . 14aperville's required setbacks are generally_consistent,with the standards utilized by.other communities surveyed, with the exception of corner side yard setbacks where most of the communities utilize more' . stringent standards. Staff found that several.communities relate side yard setbacks to lot width, requiring a combined total:side,yard setback equal'to some.percentage of lot width. Findings In summary, the standards contained in Naperville's,Zoning Ordinance are generally consistent with standards utilized by other municipalities. Drawing conclusions from this type of comparative research is difficult because zoning regulations are customized to meet a community's specific needs and are often based on the historic development pattern of an area..Standards that work well in one community may be inappropriate,for another: The most important finding from t ls'research was that(unlike Naperville) fourteen of the sixteen municipalities surveyed utilize either floor area ratios or lot coverage restrictions to regulate the bulk of residential.construction. This finding may indicate that setbacks and height restrictions alone may be unable to adequately control residential bulk.
