Lysander City Zoning Code

ARTICLE XXI

Major Highway Overlay Controls

§ 320-62 Major Highway Overlay controls.

The purpose of this section is to accommodate and promote a pattern of land development that is appropriate to the current and future needs of the Town's highway network. The following regulations are intended to balance proper highway functioning with the use and design of abutting properties, protecting both from the adverse effects of the other.
A. 
Applicability.
(1) 
These regulations shall apply to all lots abutting the highways listed below.
(2) 
These regulations shall be in addition to the lot, yard or setback requirements of the zone district regulations.
(3) 
In the event of conflict with other sections of this chapter, then the greater or more restrictive requirement shall apply.
B. 
Exceptions.
(1) 
New lots may be established for one- or two-family dwellings with less lot width than required by this section if the proposed lot(s) provides for vehicular access (driveway) to a local street or nondesignated collector and no access is provided to the designated arterial or collector.
(2) 
This section shall not apply to any lot within the Neighborhood Residential-Business District since those properties are characterized by older development patterns which preclude compliance with these requirements.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
