28-14-1 Purpose And Intent

The purposes of the R-1 Zones are to provide regulated areas for single-family residential use at varied density levels and to provide density buffers between existing Agricultural Estate Zones and residential uses in the agricultural zone. Included in these zones are provisions for a wider choice of residential housing styles needing varied lot sizes, through the use of conventional subdivision designs, averaging of lot sizes and frontages, while enhancing the advantages of individual home ownership. It is not the intent that these zones become areas for the keeping, maintaining, feeding, etc. of animal or fowl units as defined in this ordinance.

28-14-2 Uses

  1. Permitted and conditional uses for each zone are outlined in Table 14.2.

28-14-3 Site Development Standards

Site development standards for all R-1 Zones are outlined in Table 14.3.

28-14-4 Averaging Standards

Subdivisions, where averaging is permitted, developed within these zones will be evaluated throughout the approval process based upon the use of lot and width averaging in respect to the intent and purpose of these zones as stated herein, and the following guidelines:

  1. Corner lots are not to be included in any averages.
  2. Lot sizes will be interspersed throughout the subdivision unless specific sizes concentrated within one area are required for buffering. In the R-1-15 Zone a minimum of 50% of interior lots will meet the 95 foot frontage requirement.
  3. The averaging plan for a subdivision will be approved during the preliminary plat approval process and will not be changed without reevaluation of the preliminary plat by the Planning Commission. In the R-1-15 Zone the accumulated average lot size for the first and subsequent phases within the subdivision shall not be lower than required.

28-14-5 Special Provisions For R-1-6 Zone

  1. Minimum area of zone - 10 acres.
  2. The City may require park land dedication as authorized by the Clinton City Municipal Code, Title 24 Chapter 1.6

28-14-6 Special Provisions For Development Adjacent To The Performance Zone

  1. Any subdivision developing next to a vacant parcel located within the Performance Zone will provide, as a minimum, a fifteen (15) foot buffer easement and a six-foot high chain link fence constructed to city standards next to the vacant land.
  2. The intent of this additional space is for it to be utilized as a buffer with additional vegetation, to be installed by the homeowner, it desired whenever the vacant land is developed with a non-compatible use.
  3. The buffer easement will not be utilized for structures of other use which would interfere with the possible development of a landscape buffer. 125
  4. All setback requirements established in this ordinance shall be measured from the buffer easement and not from the property line.
  5. Buffer easements may be used in conjunction with the public utility and drainage easement required in the Clinton City Subdivision Ordinance.
