  • Size of lot. Minimum lot size shall not be less than 20,000 square feet in this district. The maximum allowable height of any structure shall be regulated by the setback requirements of this section. Heights in excess of 30 feet will be permitted when additional setback area is provided on the following basis: For each additional foot in height, add one foot to all required setback for said structure, except that where a lot line abuts a street, one-half of the width of the right-of-way of said street may be considered as yard setback; but in no instance shall any yard setback from the property line be less than the required minimum yard setbacks listed below:

    Minimum yard setback—(per site in feet)

    Front—75*, Sides—20*, Rear—20*

    Notes:

    *These setbacks shall apply to all structures whose height is less than 30 feet. Structures in excess of 30 feet shall conform to the additional setback requirements provided for in this Ordinance. The fire chief shall establish adequate fire lanes on each site plan.

    (2)

    In such instances where low rise (30 feet in height or less) structures are proposed abutting a high rise, structures shall be considered as separate structures for purposes of calculating setbacks, and that both the high rise and low rise portions must meet the setback requirements of the High Rise Zoning District individually. In calculating setbacks of the high rise, low rise structures may be located within the required setback distance.

    (3)

    The required setback areas may be used for the following purposes, excluding the first 25 feet of the front yard setback area relative to the location of off-street parking areas:

    When the provisions of the High Rise Zoning District are applied to any other zoning district, the High Rise Zoning District provisions relating to height and setbacks shall apply to all structures. The parking requirements of the High Rise Zoning District shall apply to the high rise structure only. The only uses permitted within the high rise structure shall be those permitted within the High Rise Zoning District.
