Alley loaded residential development provisions are intended to provide flexibility for the placement of structures in new residential land divisions in order to increase usable yard area, enhance neighborhood walkability, and allow reduced street widths. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)

These provisions can be used as an alternative to standard front, side or rear setback requirements in the SR-12000, SR-9000, NR, and the Mixed Use Zoning Districts CMU-S, HMU-S, EMU and RMU Zoning Districts when the requirements of this section are applied in conjunction with a subdivision application. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)

   A.   Development projects using alley loaded residential development provisions must comply with the following provisions in addition to all other applicable provisions of this title:

      1.   An alley shall be provided to the rear of all alley-loaded houses. All vehicular access shall take place from the alley. No off-street parking shall be permitted in the required front yard.

      2.   Front porches may encroach a maximum of eight feet (8') into the front yard and shall be at the same first floor elevation as the home.

      3.   Attached and detached garages shall be set back a minimum of twenty feet (20') from the rear property line. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)
