1-53-4.1. Table of dimensional and density regulations. Table 53-2 sets forth criteria for minimum lot sizes, front, side and rear setback requirements, lot dimensions, and minimum square footage for dwelling units and maximum building heights for the location of structures within the several zoning districts established in this code. Except as specifically allowed elsewhere in this code, no structure may be hereafter built, located, or erected in any zoning district on a lot which does not meet the minimum lot size or minimum lot dimensions set forth in table 53-2 for the respective zoning districts, or which is located closer to a lot line than the minimum setback distances set forth in table 53-2 for the respective zoning districts, or which has fewer than the minimum square feet of living area (dwelling units only, not including porches, sheds or garages) or which exceeds the maximum building heights set forth in table 53-2. Mobile homes, when allowed in a zoning district, must have a minimum of 500 square feet of floor space as manufactured. All structures must comply with section 1-53-6.13, Airports.

TABLE 53-2. TABLE OF DIMENSIONAL AND DENSITY REGULATIONS

Notes:

(1)

Minimum lot size for individual use. Overall residential density and minimum lot sizes may vary pursuant to pertinent provisions of the comprehensive plan and LDC.

(2)

Existing recorded parcels within the agriculture future land use category which are less than the minimum five (5) acre lot size for residential uses are considered "vested" for residential uses as of January 1, 2015. The lots must meet the other provisions of the land development code.

(3)

Setbacks shall be from the road right-of-way, easement, or property line, whichever is more restrictive.

1-53-4.2. Dimensional measurements.

(a)

Corner lots means a lot located at an intersection of two streets resulting in two front yards. The primary front yard is the side of a lot where the front of the building is facing. The rear yard shall be opposite of the primary front yard and the remaining yard shall be considered a side yard.

(b)

Dwelling/mobile home size is measured by the amount of air conditioned square footage.

(c)

Flaglot measurements: Flaglots consist of a flag which is the lot minus the pole and a pole which is the access right-of-way or easement. For setback purposes, the front yard of a flaglot shall be along the access right-of-way or easement. The access right-of-way or easement shall be a minimum of 25 feet with a minimum driveway width of 20 feet.

(d)

Lot coverage means that portion of the lot area, expressed as a percentage, covered by buildings and structures.

(e)

Lot line, rear means that lot line which is opposite and most distant from the front lot line.

(f)

Lot measurement, depth: The distance measured from the front lot line to the rear lot line. For lots where the front or rear lot lines are not parallel, the lot depth is the average of the lines drawn from the front lot line to the rear lot line.

(g)

Lot measurement, width: The following shall apply to lot width:

(1)

On straight streets where side lot lines are perpendicular to the street right-of-way line, the terms "lot width" and "street frontage" are synonymous.

(2)

On streets where lots may not have parallel side lot lines, a lesser street frontage may be permitted provided that the required lot width is met at the midpoints of the side lot lines.

(3)

On cul-de-sacs where irregularly shaped lots with nonparallel side lot lines occur, the street frontage may be less than the minimum required width provided that the side lot lines are radial to the center point of the cul-de-sac.

1-53-4.3. Supplemental dimensional regulations. Because of the need to protect uses from noise, traffic, and other impacts generated by major highways, and notwithstanding the provisions of table 53-2, above, no permanent residential structure shall be located closer than 100 feet from the right-of-way line of a state or federal highway.
