R-90 To RMD-9: Zoning Comparison

The document compares zoning standards for the Residential Medium Density (RMD-9) zone to the R-90 zone. Key standards like minimum lot size, front/rear/side setbacks, lot coverage, and maximum building height are illustrated for detached houses. The intent is to provide areas for moderate density residential use dominated by detached houses. The proposed RMD-9 zone has similar standards to R-90 with some changes like removing the redundant interior side setback sum requirement and applying new height limits to control bulk and massing of infill development.

R-90 to RMD-9

Zoning Comparison
The intent of the Residential Medium Density (RMD) zone is to provide designated areas of the county for moderate density residential purposes. The dominant use is residential in a detached house.

Existing development in the R-90 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 ** 35 to highest point or 30 to mean height between eaves and ridge; 40 if approved by Planning Board through site plan (current) or 35 to the mean height between eaves and ridge or to the highest point of a flat roof (proposed)
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 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.
