SUMMARY:
City Council approved Ordinance No. 347 to alleviate the demand for bigger houses, an ordinance to set up the minimum lot size to 6,000 square feet. However, there are still many empty lots around the City that are less than 6,000 square feet making it difficult to construct a bigger house.
Ordinance No. 347 also provides that all existing single-family lots in an R-2 zone must be built to R1-6 design standards. Changing R1-6 design standards works to capture all of these lots and all new 6,000 square feet lots in the future. In order for the new 5 foot setbacks to apply to existing lots in an R-2 zone, the City Code must be amended to include the development standards under Section 152.91(A) and (B)(1).
This proposed amendment will allow the reduction of the side yard setback from 7 feet to 5 feet on lots in an R1-6 district and the existing lots in R-2 districts. However, construction with setbacks of less than 7 feet but no greater than 5 feet must be constructed with a minimum of a 2-hour fire resistive construction.
