Schedule of Regulation Notes

(a)

All yards abutting a street shall be landscaped. For all uses except one-family or two-family detached residential units, a landscape plan shall be submitted in accordance with the applicable provisions of section 46-7, landscaping. The objective of such landscaping is not to totally obscure but to soften the overall appearance of the use.

(b)

Utility transformers or pedestals not exceeding four feet in height may be placed within the minimum yard setback of any yard except a front yard.

(c)

For the purpose of computing density, the number of rooms, not the number of units, shall apply. A den, library or other unspecified room shall be counted as a bedroom for density calculations. The following shall control:

(1)

Efficiency unit: one room.

(2)

One-bedroom unit: two rooms.

(3)

Two-bedroom unit: three rooms.

(4)

Three-or-more-bedroom unit: four rooms.

In no instance shall more than 15 percent of the total number of units of any multiple-family development be utilized for efficiency apartment development. The total number of rooms in multiple-dwelling structures shall not be more than the area of the parcel in square feet divided by 1,000 in an R-HD District and 900 in an R-PC. In either case, fractional figures of one-half or greater shall be rounded to the next whole number.

(d)

Multiple-family residential buildings on parcels of land that are at least five acres in size are permitted to be a maximum of three stories and 50 feet in height. All buildings exceeding 30 feet in height must be set back at least 25 feet from all property lines that adjoin single-family residential parcels of land.

(e)

The minimum floor area requirements shall be supplied as follows:

Efficiency unit	350	square feet
One-bedroom unit	600	square feet
Two-bedroom unit	800	square feet
Three-bedroom unit	1,000	square feet
More than three bedrooms	1,150	square feet plus 150 square feet for each additional bedroom

(f)

No multiple-family building may exceed 180 feet in length or width.

(g)

One-family detached condominiums shall meet all requirements and standards of the district in which such dwellings are to be constructed.

(h)

Parking may be permitted within a required front yard setback, provided that the parking setback is not less than ten feet. The lawn area shall be landscaped in accordance with section 46-7.

(i)

No side yards are required along interior side lot lines, except as otherwise specified in the building code. Exterior side yards shall have a setback as specified by the Schedule of Regulations except that if the exterior side yard borders on a residential district, there shall be provided a setback of not less than 20 feet. Furthermore, if walls or structures face interior side lot lines and contain windows or other openings, side yards of not less than ten feet shall be provided.

(j)

Except for one-story buildings and single-family residential dwellings, all buildings that have frontage along the 100, 200, and 300 blocks of North and South Bridge Streets must have a flat roof. A parapet wall, as required by section 46-21(3), may extend three feet above the 50-foot building height limitation.
