R-60 To R-60: Zoning Comparison

The document compares the current R-60 zoning standards to the proposed changes. The intent of the R-60 zone is for moderate density residential development with detached houses as the dominant use. Under both the current and proposed standards, the minimum lot area is 6,000 square feet with a minimum width of 60 feet. Several setback standards are proposed to change, including removing the sum of side setbacks requirement and revising the rear setback to a minimum of 20 feet. The maximum height of principal buildings is proposed to change from 35 feet to 30 feet under the new standards.
