RE-2 To RE-2: (Proposed)

The document compares zoning standards for the existing RE-2 zone and a proposed revised RE-2 zone for large lot residential properties. Key differences proposed include removing the combined side setback requirement, lowering the maximum lot coverage from 25% to 15% to be more consistent with other residential zones, and measuring building height from the average grade rather than the highest point. The purpose is to provide designated areas for large lot residential use while rationalizing some development standards.

Front Setback

Side Section of Structure (Main Building) Height is proposed to be measured from the average grade to the mean height level between eaves and ridge of a gable, hip, mansard, or gambrel roof or to the highest point of roof surface of a flat roof.

Rationale for Changes Marked in Red Sum of Side Setbacks, Interior The proposed zoning code removes the Sum of Side Setbacks requirement since it is redundant.

Coverage The proposed zoning code rationalizes coverage in the RE-2 zone so that it is more in line with coverage for RE-1 (15%) and the agricultural and rural zones (10%).
