are identified for the larger, more dense projects under the CUP provisions noted in the CUP section above. (C) Floor area ratio This clause is a way of limited intensity of development on a site, which usually works in combination with density, building height/stories, and setbacks. The allowance to exceed the listed FAR is provided by CUP under the proposed text. The floor area ratio within the R-4 District may not exceed 1.0 except by Conditional Use Permit. (D) Front yard The front setback from the street is proposed to be reduced to 20 feet, with attendant changes in side and rear setbacks below. The intent is to accommodate an increase in the separation between buildings on adjoining property, allowing a more limited “front yard” area which is usually occupied by little, if any, usable space. There must be a front yard with a setback of at least 30 twenty (20) feet. (E) Side yards The side setbacks here are modified to provide greater separation from adjoining property (in concert with the reduced front yard setback). Setback to adjoining property is related to the height of the building, with a fixed minimum. (1) There must be 2 side yards with a minimum width of at least 15 twenty (20) feet each, or at least 50% of the height of the building, whichever is greater. (2) Side yards adjacent to a public right-of-way must be at least 30 twenty (20) feet in width. (3) There must be a distance equal to the height of the highest building on a lot between any buildings on the same lot, to a maximum required distance of 30 feet. (F) Rear yard. Rear setback is adjusted to relate to the height of the building, with a fixed minimum. The rear yard must have a depth equal to the greater of 20% of the entire lot or 40 feet or 50% of the height of the building, whichever is greater. (G) Minimum floor area Relates to the Senior Housing allowances in the CUP section. (1) Efficiency units must contain at least 500 square feet. (2) One-bedroom units must contain at least 650 square feet. (3) Units with more than 1 bedroom must contain at least 650 square feet plus 125 square feet for each bedroom in excess of 1. (4) Units in buildings designated for senior occupants may utilize smaller units under the CUP allowed by this section, with the provisions for future conversion as noted. (H) Lot coverage. Additional text creates a specific process for demonstrating that a higher lot coverage can be accommodated through proper improvements. The SWPPP is a standard plan process for managing stormwater, reviewed by the City Engineer. The lot coverage (including all impervious surfaces) may not exceed 50% except by Conditional Use Permit, upon a showing that stormwater management is addressed on-site without creating impacts Formatted: List Paragraph, Numbered + Level: 1 +Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment:Left + Aligned at: 0.17" + Indent at: 0.42" Formatted: Font: 12 pt
