(a)

No building, structure, land or premises in an R-3 district shall be used, and no building or structure shall be hereafter erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or altered, except in compliance with one or more of the following subdistrict uses:

(1)

R-3A: Any use permitted in district R-2.

In addition to the uses listed above, each of the above subdistricts shall be permitted accessory uses customarily incident to the uses listed and not involving the conduct of a business or industry, including automobile parking areas, garages, or carports.

(Ord. No. 4.414, § 1, 1-22-2018)

The height of buildings, the minimum dimensions of lots and yards, and the minimum lot area per family permitted on any lot shall be as follows:

(1)

Height. Buildings or structures shall not exceed 35 feet or two and one-half stories in height.

(2)

Front yards. Same as district R-1.

(3)

Side yards. Same as district R-1.

Rear yards. Rear yards shall be not less than 25 feet.

(5)

Yard between buildings. There shall be not less than 20 feet between individual buildings constructed on a lot or tract.

(6)

Lot area per family apartment unit. Every building or portion of a building hereafter erected, moved or altered shall provide a lot area for one- and two-family dwellings, the same as in district R-2. The minimum lot area for garden apartments shall be 8,000 square feet for the first family apartment unit and an additional 3,000 square feet for each additional family apartment unit in each building; provided that in no instance shall the number of family apartment units within any one building exceed 24. Where a lot or tract of record contains less area than required, at the time of the passage of the ordinance from which this title is derived, this regulation shall not prohibit the erection of a one-family dwelling.

(7)

Play area. A play area or areas for recreational use shall be provided in each apartment project and shall be designated as such on the site development plan. The size of such area or areas shall be not less than 20 percent of the total land area in the tract and no area shall be less than ten feet wide at its narrowest dimension. No play area shall be located on any parking lot or driveway. The land devoted to a buffer zone may be included in the calculation of the play area but no area within ten feet of a street, parking lot or driveway may be used in computing the size of the play area unless a barrier is provided which meets reasonable standards of safety, health and appearance, to separate the play area from the street, parking lot or driveway. Provided that nothing contained herein shall authorize the construction or erection of any barrier along the edge of a buffer zone which abuts a street.

(8)

Buffer zone. Every tract zoned R-3 which in any way adjoins, abuts or is adjacent to an R-1 or R-P-1 district shall have a buffer zone, as defined herein, along the boundary line between the two districts, or if such boundary line is the center of a street, along the edge of the street right-of-way abutting the R-3 district.

(9)

Lot width. Same as district R-1. The front of one garden apartment building shall not face the rear of another building.
