Garden Patio Homes.

A.

No area will be zoned for garden-patio homes until the City Council shall determine that the proposed patio homes are designed in such a manner as to be in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

B.

It is the intent of this Ordinance that patio homes, in areas where they are or may be permitted may be appropriately intermingled with other types of housing; shall constitute groupings making efficient, economical, comfortable, and convenient use of land and open space; and serving the public purposes of zoning by means alternative to conventional arrangements of yards and buildings areas.

C.

In line with general considerations above, the following site plan and design Criteria are established:

1.

No more than two (2) garden-patio homes shall be connected.

2.

Each patio home shall be constructed on its own lot, and shall be a minimum width of forty (40) feet at the building line with minimum lot area of four thousand (4,000) square feet.

3.

Each patio home lot shall have side yards totaling a minimum of ten (10) feet or meet Building/Fire Codes. Minimum depth of rear yard shall be fifteen (15) feet. Fireplace and chimney may be placed in the side or rear yard setback provided they do not project beyond the thirty-inch permitted roof overhang and provided they do not restrict or obstruct any drainage or drainage easement, either existing or proposed.

4.

The required ten-foot side yard must be kept perpetually free of permanent obstructions, accessory structures, walls and fences without gates.

5.

Privacy fences or walls may be placed on or along any lot line provided that such fences or walls are not constructed in such a manner as to block any local lot drainage and provided gates or other openings are provided that will not restrict access for fire protection. An eight-foot maximum height limit will be permitted for privacy fences or walls located on or along any required side or rear yard.

6.

Each patio home shall have on its own lot one yard containing not less than six hundred (600) square feet, reasonably secluded from view.

7.

Off-street parking shall be provided at the rate of two (2) spaces per dwelling unit and shall be located within the interior of the lot. Garages shall not be credited toward the parking requirements if said garage is a part of the main dwelling or attached to the main dwelling.

8.

The exterior walls of the patio home, or any accessory structures located on the zero-foot side yard setback shall not project over the property line. Roof overhang may penetrate maintenance and drainage easements of the adjacent lot a maximum of thirty (30) inches, provided the roof shall be so designated that water run-off shall be restricted to the drainage easement area.

9.

No windows, doors, or other openings shall be permitted on the zero-foot side line of any patio home unit. Where adjacent zero (0) [foot] lot line dwellings are not constructed against or along a common lot line, a perpetual wall maintenance easement of three (3) feet in width along and parallel to the adjacent lot shall be provided.

10.

Where adjacent zero (0) [foot] lot line dwellings are not constructed against or along a common lot line, a perpetual drainage easement shall be provided which shall be approved by the City. Fences and walls may be located on or along this easement provided gates or other openings that will not block local lot drainage are maintained.

11.

The lot adjacent to the zero (0) [foot] setback side yard must be under the same ownership at the time of initial construction (ensuring that a developer does not infringe on the property rights of owners of adjacent tracts).

12.

A ten-foot side setback shall be required, provided the adjacent property is not zoned for patio homes or is not a permitted use in the adjacent zoning district.

13.

No accessory structures shall be erected in a required front, side, street side yard, or open space. Accessory structures shall be permitted in the rear yard and shall not exceed one (1) story in height; and shall not cover more than twenty-five (25) percent of the required rear yard.
