RE-1 To RE-1: (Proposed)

The document compares zoning standards between the existing RE-1 zone and a proposed RE-1 zone for residential properties. The key standards compared are minimum lot size and dimensions, placement of buildings on lots through setbacks, and maximum height of buildings. The proposed changes to the RE-1 zone remove the combined interior side setback requirement and measure building height differently.

Rationale for Changes Marked in Red

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.

Sum of Side Setbacks, Interior The proposed zoning code removes the Sum of Side Setbacks requirement since it is redundant.
