Denton City Zoning Code
ARTICLE VII
Density and Dimensional Regulations.
§ 128-118 Minimum lot size.
A.
The Planning Commission may reduce the minimum lot area and dimensions required for a lot or lots proposed for detached single-family residential dwellings in the SR, TR, CBC, MI, and MR Zoning Districts upon a finding that:
(1)
The proposed reduction shall result in residential development that is compatible and harmonious with existing and planned land uses in the area, and no lot will be created that is so narrow or otherwise so irregularly shaped that it would be impractical to construct a residence thereon; or
(2)
The proposed reduction shall result in a compatible and harmonious residential development with existing and planned land uses. The reasonable development of a proposed development site is limited by existing natural site features such as nontidal wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive features. Reasonable development, for this section, does not guarantee maximum possible development under this chapter. Achieving the maximum possible density is not sufficient justification alone for permitting a reduction in the minimum lot area and dimensions.
B.
The reduction in lot size and dimensions allowed shall be the minimum required in all cases and shall not result in any lot for a detached single-family residential dwelling with an area of less than 5,000 square feet. This provision shall not be construed as permitting a density over the maximum permitted residential density outlined in § 128-127.
C.
All lot size or dimension reductions shall be noted on any recorded subdivision plat.
§ 128-119 Residential density and minimum lot area.
§ 128-120 Minimum lot widths.
B.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding standard, the Table of Density and Dimensional Regulations (§ 128-127) indicates minimum lot widths recommended and deemed presumptively to satisfy the standard outlined in Subsection A. The lot width shall be measured along a straight line connecting the points at which a line that demarcates the required setback from the street intersects with lot boundary lines at opposite sides of the lot.
§ 128-121 Building setback requirements.
A.
Subject to § 128-124 and the other provisions of this section, no portion of any building shall be located on any lot closer to any lot line or to the street right-of-way line than is authorized in the Table of Density and Dimensional Regulations (§ 128-127).
(1)
If the street right-of-way line is readily determinable (by reference to a recorded map, set markers, or other means), the setback shall be measured from such right-of-way line. If the right-of-way line is not so determinable, the setback shall be measured from the street center line, and fifteen (15) feet shall be added to the setback depth indicated in the table.
(2)
As used in this section, the term "lot boundary line" refers to lot boundaries other than those that abut streets.
(3)
As used in this section, the term "building" includes any substantial structure that, by its size, scale, dimensions, bulk, or use, tends to constitute a visual obstruction or generate activity similar to that usually associated with a building. Without limiting the generality of the previous, the following structures shall be deemed to fall within this description:
(4)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a sign may be erected on or affixed to a structure that has a principal function that is something other than the support of the sign (e.g., a fence) but does not constitute a building as defined in this chapter, only if such sign is located to comply with the setback requirement applicable to freestanding signs in the district where such sign is located.
(5)
Setbacks for freestanding signs shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet.
B.
Whenever a lot in a nonresidential district has a common boundary line with a lot in a residential district, and the property line setback requirement applicable to the residential lot is greater than that applicable to the nonresidential lot, then the lot in the nonresidential district shall be required to observe the property line setback requirement applicable to the adjoining residential lot.
C.
Setback distances shall be measured from the property line or street right-of-way line to a point on the lot that is directly below the nearest extension of any part of the building that is substantially a part of the building itself and not a mere appendage to it (such as a flagpole, etc.).
D.
Whenever a private road that serves more than three (3) lots or more than three (3) dwelling units or that serves any nonresidential use tending to generate traffic equivalent to more than three (3) dwelling units is located along a lot boundary, then:
(1)
If the lot is not also bordered by a public street, buildings, and freestanding signs shall be set back from the center line of the private road just as if such a road were a public street.
(2)
If a public street also borders the lot, then the setback distance on lots used for residential purposes shall be measured from the inside boundary of the traveled portion of the private road.
§ 128-122 Building height limitations.
A.
For purposes of this section:
(1)
The height of a building shall be the vertical distance measured from the mean elevation of the finished grade at the front of the building to the highest point of the building.
(2)
A point of access to a roof shall be the top of any parapet wall or the lowest point of a roof's surface, whichever is greater. Roofs with slopes greater than 75% are regarded as walls.
B.
Subject to the remaining provisions of this section, building height limitations in the various zoning districts shall be as indicated in the Table of Density and Dimensional Regulations (§ 128-127).
C.
Subject to Subsection D, the following features are exempt from the district height limitations outlined in Subsection B:
(1)
Chimneys, church spires, elevator shafts, and similar structural appendages not intended as places of occupancy or storage.
(2)
Flagpoles and similar devices.
(3)
Heating and air-conditioning equipment, solar collectors, and similar equipment, fixtures, and devices.
(4)
Cooling towers.
(5)
Elevator bulkheads.
(6)
Fire towers.
(7)
Grain elevators.
(8)
Public monuments.
(9)
Public and semipublic ornamental towers and spires.
(10)
Radio and television broadcasting antennas and towers.
(11)
Silos.
(12)
Smokestacks.
(13)
Stage towers or scenery lofts.
(14)
Tanks.
(15)
Public water towers and standpipes.
D.
The features listed in Subsection C are exempt from the height limitations outlined in Subsection B if they conform to the following requirements:
(1)
Such features may consume not more than 1/3 of the total roof area.
E.
Notwithstanding Subsection B, in any zoning district, the vertical distance from the ground to the point of access to a roof surface of any nonresidential building or any multifamily residential building containing four or more dwelling units may not exceed fifty (50) feet unless the Fire Chief certifies to the permit-issuing authority that such building is designed to provide adequate access for fire-fighting personnel or the Building Inspector certifies that the building is otherwise designed or equipped to provide adequate protection against the dangers of fire.
F.
Towers and antennas are allowed in all zoning districts to the extent authorized elsewhere in this chapter.
G.
Public or semipublic buildings, hospitals, institutions, places of religious assembly, or schools may be erected to a height not exceeding sixty (60) feet when permitted in a district.
§ 128-123 Modification of area regulations.
A.
Yards, generally.
(1)
Every part of a required yard shall be open to the sky, except as authorized by this article, and except ordinary projections of sills, belt courses, window air-conditioning units, chimneys, cornices, and ornamental features which may project to a distance not to exceed twenty-four (24) inches into a required yard, and at a height not obstructing any public way, street, or thoroughfare.
(3)
Permanently fixed, accessory, open, and uncovered home barbecue grills may occupy a rear yard, provided that the rear setback shall not be located closer than five (5) feet to the rear lot line and three (3) feet to a side lot line.
(4)
Accessory buildings that are not a part of the main building, although an open breezeway may connect them, may be constructed in a rear yard, provided that such accessory building does not occupy more than forty (40) percent of the area of the required rear yard and provided that it is not located closer than five (5) feet to the rear lot line and not closer than three (3) feet to a side yard lot line.
(5)
Accessory swimming pools, open and uncovered, may occupy a rear or side yard, provided they are not located closer than six (6) feet to a rear lot line or ten (10) feet to a side lot line.
(6)
A satellite antenna larger than 24 inches in diameter may be erected in a rear yard only as an accessory use subject to the following restrictions:
(a)
May only be erected after the construction of the principal structure and after obtaining a building permit. Satellite antennae are encouraged to be close to the principal structure for screening and concealment from view.
(b)
Normally, only one (1) antenna shall be erected per principal building. Where more than one satellite antenna is necessary, the Planning Commission shall require screening to the maximum extent possible.
(c)
It may be erected as a freestanding structure mounted on the ground and thoroughly stabilized and tied down following best building practices and conformance with the latest code-regulating installation.
(i)
A satellite antenna may be mounted on the roof of a building if used for educational purposes relating to a public or private school or a public service operation. Satellite antennas shall be screened or located to minimize view from any public way, street, or thoroughfare.
(ii)
For this section, a private school shall be a private educational facility that meets state accreditation for education.
(iii)
For this section, the Town shall determine a public service operation, which may include agencies such as police, fire, governmental, and health services.
(iv)
It must be constructed by a recognized manufacturer in the trade and professionally installed, meeting all Federal Communications Commission safety standards, and be U.L. approved.
(v)
Shall be reasonably screened or located to minimize view from the public thoroughfare and the ground level of adjacent properties. All screening shall be maintained as approved initially; if not, any permit granted for the satellite is subject to revocation.
(vi)
Height, area, and bulk requirements shall be:
[a]
Maximum height: ten (10) feet from the ground to the highest point of the installed antenna.
[b]
Maximum diameter: eight (8) feet.
[c]
Minimum rear setback: distance equal to the height of the satellite (maximum ten (10) feet).
[d]
Minimum side setback: distance equal to the satellite's height or the required side setback for the principal structure, whichever is greater.
(d)
Antennas less than twenty-four (24) inches in diameter may be mounted on the roof of a building of a noneducational or public and semipublic services nature. Satellite antennas shall be screened or located to minimize view from any public way, street, or thoroughfare.
(e)
Properties within the Historic District require review and approval for the placement and screening of antennas.
B.
Front yards.
(1)
Where an official line has been established for the future widening or opening of a street or major thoroughfare upon which a lot abuts, then the depth of a front or side yard shall be measured from such official line to the nearest line of the building.
(2)
The required front yard shall be provided on through lots on each street.
(3)
There shall be a primary front yard of fifteen (15) feet on the side street of a corner lot; however, the buildable width of a lot of record shall not be so reduced to render it unusable. The Director of Planning shall be guided by the development pattern in the vicinity of the lot in question in determining which is the primary street or secondary street (side) and the appropriate setback for such lots of records.
(4)
Where twenty-five (25) percent or more of the street frontage, or where twenty-five (25) percent or more of the street frontage within four hundred (400) feet of the property in question, is improved with buildings that have a front yard (with a variation of six (6) feet or less) that is greater or less than the required front yard in the district, no building shall project beyond the average front yard so established; provided, however, that a depth of front yard of more than fifty (50) percent over the depth of the required front yard in the district in which the lot is located shall not be required. Where forty (40) percent or more of the street frontage is improved with buildings with no front yard, no front yard shall be required.
(5)
The Planning Commission may establish a build-to-line in residential neighborhoods where most residences are close to the street. Where established, the build-to line shall dictate the placement of a building or structure from the street right-of-way line on which the building fronts. On a corner lot, the build-to line applies to both sides, which have street frontage. The front porch shall be placed on the build-to line. Variations of twenty-five (25) percent of the distance from the street right-of-way to the build-to line may create variety in the streetscape. Whenever a building does not front on a right-of-way, the build-to line shall be measured from the edge of the pavement of an accessway in front of or on the side of the building.
C.
Side yards.
(1)
Where dwelling units are erected above business structures in business districts, no side yards are required except such side yards as may be required in the district regulations for a business or industrial building.
(2)
For the side yard regulations, a group of business or industrial buildings separated by common or party walls shall be considered one building occupying one lot.
(3)
The minimum depth of side yards for schools, libraries, places of religious assembly, community houses, and other public and semipublic buildings in residential districts shall be twenty-five (25) feet, except where a side yard is adjacent to a business or industrial district, in which case the depth of that yard shall be as required in the chart of Article VII for the district in which the building is located.
D.
Rear yards. Open or partially or semi-enclosed fire escapes, outside stairways and balconies opening upon fire towers, and the ordinary projections of chimneys and flues may project into the required rear yards for a distance of not more than five (5) feet, but only where the same are so placed as not to obstruct light and ventilation.
E.
Authority to vary setbacks. For all infill and redevelopment applications in the SR, TR, MR, CBC, and MI Districts, the Planning Commission may vary the front yard, side yard, or rear yard setbacks outlined in this chapter if it finds that:
(1)
The property owner complies with the Town's Design Guidelines as applicable (See Appendix III[1] at the end of this chapter) and
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix III is included as an attachment to this chapter.
(2)
The proposed setbacks do not affect the adjacent property's privacy, sunlight, or views nor restrain the adjacent property's potential for future development.
§ 128-124 Density on lots where portion dedicated to Town.
A.
Subject to the other provisions of this section, if any portion of a tract lies within an area designated on any officially adopted Town plan as part of a proposed public park, greenway, or bikeway, and before the tract is developed, the owner of the tract, with the concurrence of the Town, dedicates to the Town that portion of the tract so designated, then when the remainder of the tract is developed for residential purposes, the permissible density at which the remainder may be developed shall be calculated regarding the dedicated portion of the original lot as if it were still part of the proposed development.
B.
For purposes of subdivision or development of the remainder of a tract, the developer need not set aside usable open space to the extent that an equivalent amount of land has previously been dedicated to the Town.
§ 128-125 Corner visibility.
A.
No sign, fence, wall hedge, planting, or other obstruction to vision extending to a height three (3) feet above the established street grade shall be erected, planted, or maintained within the area of a corner lot (corner visibility zone) that is included between the lines of the intersecting streets and a straight line connecting them at points thirty (30) feet distant from the intersection of the street unless otherwise approved by Planning Commission or the Director of Planning. (See § 128-15 Definitions and Appendix IV,[1] Lot Types, and Yard Requirements, Corner Visibility, and Fence Height Illustrations.)
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix IV is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
Intersections of alleys or driveways with streets.
(1)
There shall be a clear line of site at the intersection of all street or access driveway intersections sufficient along the predominant highway or street to avoid the hazard of collision between a vehicle starting to cross the highway or street or turning into the intersecting highway from a stop position and a vehicle on the through road operating at design speed and appearing after the crossing or turning movement has begun.
(2)
Generally, the corner visibility zone for intersections of alleys or driveways with streets is a triangle with 10-foot sides extending from the intersection of the alley or driveway and the street measured along the curb line and the edge of the alley or driveway and a straight line connecting these two points.
(3)
The corner visibility zone for intersections of alleys or driveways with sidewalks is a triangle with five-foot sides extending from the intersection formed using the edge of the sidewalk furthest from the street and the edge of the alley or driveway and a straight line connecting these two points.
(4)
At intersections onto highways with speeds exceeding thirty (30) miles per hour, the Planning Commission may require a study conducted by a transportation professional using methods acceptable to the Maryland State Highway Administration to establish the appropriate intersection traffic visibility requirement.
C.
Government signs, signposts, traffic control devices, utility control devices, and poles are exempt from the height limits within the corner visibility zone.
§ 128-126 Fencing, walls, and hedges.
A.
Any fence or wall located in the front yard shall be limited in height to four (4) feet from road grade, except in I/MI Districts where a fence seven (7) feet high from road grade may be erected twenty (20) feet from the front property line.
B.
Fences, walls, and hedges must be set back at least one (1) foot from sidewalks. Otherwise, fences, hedges, or walls must either be located on the property line or setback at least two (2) feet from the property line.
C.
No fence shall be erected in a front yard in a residential district unless the fence is uniformly less than 50% solid.
D.
Side and rear yard fences, hedges, and walls not exceeding seven (7) feet above the elevation of the ground are not subject to accessory structure setbacks.
E.
Fences, hedges, and walls over four (4) feet high in front yards must be set back at least twenty-five (25) feet from the front property line in residential zoning districts. In the RHC, I, and MI Districts, the fence height shall not exceed four (4) feet from grade for the first twenty (20) feet from the front property line.
G.
This subsection applies to the location of fences over four (4) feet high for through and corner lots with a rear or side yard (per Code definitions- see Appendix IV[1]). In such cases, the front yard depth shall be as determined by the Code Enforcement Officer subject to the following limitations:
(1)
At least one front yard of twenty-five (25) feet is assumed in which a fence, hedge, or wall may not exceed a height of four (4) feet. This standard shall apply in zoning districts and for uses where no front yard is specified in § 128-127, Table of Density and Dimensional Regulations.
(2)
The other front yard on such lot shall be assumed to be not less than ten (10) feet deep or aligned with the corner of the building.
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix IV is included as an attachment to this chapter.
H.
Materials and composition.
(1)
The finished side of the fence shall face the outside of the property.
(2)
The following fences and fencing materials are expressly prohibited:
(a)
barbed wire,
(b)
pointed top fences less than three (3) feet in height,
(c)
electrically charged fences,
(d)
poultry fences,
(e)
temporary fences such as snow, expandable, and collapsible fences, except during construction of a building or structure, and
(f)
all chain link fences, except in I and MI districts.
(3)
Factory-painted and coated "garden fence" is allowed when attached to a structural wooden fence and is limited to the height and width of the structure. All entrances or gates shall open into the property.
I.
All fences or walls must be erected to avoid infringing upon a public right-of-way or easements. None shall be erected to interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic or interfere with visibility on corner lots and/or other structures or vehicles, whether stationary or transitory, on public or private property.
J.
Any fence, wall, or similar structure that may cause a nuisance, fire hazard, dangerous condition, or public safety obstruction is prohibited.
K.
Every fence or wall shall be maintained in a condition of reasonable repair. It shall not be allowed to become and remain in a condition of disrepair, damage, unsightliness, or constitute a nuisance, whether public or private. Any fence or wall that has become dangerous to public safety, health, or welfare or unsightly through improper maintenance or neglect is considered a public nuisance. The Code Enforcement Officer shall commence proper proceedings for the abatement thereof.
L.
Fences and walls in the Historic District shall be subject to Historic Review, and a Historic Review Application must be filed.
M.
Nonconforming fences may be repaired or replaced provided the degree of nonconformity is not increased, i.e., no taller, no more solid, and in the same location as currently exists. If replaced, fences shall comply with the corner visibility zone requirements in § 128-125 and the Materials and Composition provisions of the preceding Subsection H.
N.
Exceptions
(1)
The Planning Commission is authorized to approve fences for public projects that do not meet the standards outlined in the subsection.
(2)
The Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria when evaluating requests for fence deviations for public projects:
(a)
Public Safety and Security: The extent to which the proposed fence is necessary to ensure the safety and security of the public or the public project.
(b)
Functional Requirements: The extent to which the proposed fence is necessary for the proper functioning of the public project.
(c)
Impact on Surrounding Area: The potential impact of the proposed fence on the surrounding neighborhood, including visual impact, noise, and traffic.
(d)
Accessibility and Usability: The impact of the proposed fence on the accessibility and usability of public spaces.
(e)
Necessity: Proof that the standard fence regulations cannot meet the project's needs due to safety, security, or functional requirements unique to the public project.
(f)
Alternative Solutions: Consideration of alternative solutions that would minimize the need for deviations from standard fence regulations.
(5)
All approved measurements must be noted on applicable plans and made part of the official record.
