R-200 To RLD-20: Zoning Comparison

The document compares the zoning standards of the R-200 and RLD-20 residential zones. The RLD-20 zone allows a density of 2 units per acre. Both zones have a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet and minimum lot width of 100 feet. The RLD-20 zone has smaller front setbacks of 15-25 feet compared to 25-40 feet in the R-200 zone. The proposed zoning code decreases building height limits and removes redundant side setback requirements to promote compatible infill development.

Existing development in the R-200 Zone 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.

^ Subject to Established Building Line (current) or Residential Infill Compatibility standards (proposed Sec. 4.1.5) * ZTA 08-11 (current) or Residential Infill Compatibility standards (proposed Sec. 4.1.5) apply ** If the lot is the site of a building permit application filed after April 28, 2008, then the maximum building height varies from 35 to 50 depending on the lot area and method of measurement (to the highest point of any roof or the mean height in feet between the eaves and ridge of a gable, hip, mansard, or gambrel 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. Overall Building Height The proposed zoning code decreases height in line with ZTA 08-11 and applies Residential Infill Compatibility standards to the height, limiting the bulk and massing of buildings, to insure infill development is compatible with the surrounding properties.
