General Lot Requirements
(a)
Every building shall be located and maintained on a lot as defined in this Chapter.
(b)
No lot shall be divided to contain more dwellings than are permitted by the regulations of the zoning district in which it is located.
(c)
No space needed to meet the width, yard, area, open space, lot coverage, parking or other requirements of this Chapter for a lot or building may be sold or leased away from such lot or building.
(d)
No parcel of land which has less than the minimum width, depth and area requirements for the zone in which it is located may be divided from a larger parcel of land for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of building or development as a lot.
(e)
Each lot or parcel in separate ownership shall have at least twenty (20) lineal feet of frontage on a public street unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Chapter or under planned unit development plans. Each principal building devoted wholly or in part to residential use shall be located on a lot contiguous to a public street with permanent access to the public street sufficient to allow ingress and egress for emergency vehicles providing emergency services to the principal building.
(Ord. 94-11 §1, 1994)
(a)
Where a lot in a commercial zone district shares a common side lot line with a lot in a residential district, the required side yard set back of the residential district shall apply along the common lot line to the property in the commercial zone district. Where a commercial corner lot immediately adjoins a residential lot, and the side yard lot line of the residential lot coincides with the rear lot line of the commercial lot, then the minimum side yard setback of the commercial lot on the side adjacent to the street on which the residential lot fronts shall be at least one-half (½) of the required front yard setback applicable to the residential lot.
(b)
When a vacant lot is bordered on two (2) sides by previously constructed buildings both of which do not meet the required front yard setback applicable to the district, the required front yard setback for the vacant lot shall be established as the average front yard setback of the two (2) existing adjacent buildings. Where a vacant lot is bordered on only one (1) side by a previously constructed building which does not meet the required front yard setback for the district, the required front yard setback for the vacant lot shall be established as the average front yard setback of the adjacent building and the minimum required front yard setback for the district.
(c)
If a lot is not rectangular in shape and a building is constructed so that one (1) side of the building is parallel to an adjacent street or right-of-way, the setback between the building line and that lot line which is not parallel to the building line may be calculated as the average of the nearest and farthest distances between the building corners and the lot line, except that the minimum setback at any point shall not be less than three (3) feet.
(d)
There is no setback requirement for property located between State Highway 119 and North Clear Creek and State Highway 119 and Main Street south of Mill Street for those improvements relating to a municipally owned, or Title 32 sanitation district owned, public utility facility.
(Ord. 94-11 §1, 1994)
All new transmission and distribution lines shall be placed underground, unless the Board of Aldermen authorizes in writing overhead installation. Such authorization shall be granted if the Board of Aldermen finds at a hearing that overhead installation is necessary, no reasonable alternative to overhead lines exists and overhead installation will meet the purposes of this Chapter.
(Ord. 94-11 §1, 1994)
Except as permitted in the Environmental Character Preservation District, Low Intensity - Mixed Use District and Limited Industrial District, no recreational vehicle or construction and truck semi-trailers shall be used in any zoning district of the City for a dwelling unit, accessory building, storage, home occupation or other use permitted within any zoning district.
