RESIDENTIAL
The R-1 residential district is intended for the building of a one-family dwelling on a separate and distinct platted lot. The R-1 district is applicable to those existing developed areas of the city which are developed as one-family dwellings on separate platted lots and for those undeveloped areas of the city which are appropriate for future development for single-family residence purposes. The existing areas and the appropriate undeveloped areas are delineated and indicated as SFD on the land use plan.
(a)
In the R-1 district, a minimum of seven to 15 percent of the gross area shall be designated as common usable open space. Open space shall be evaluated utilizing the following general guidelines:
(1)
The percentage of required common open space shall be determined by the planning commission according to the proposed lot sizes, the average slope of the subdivision, the areas involved in floodway or water or other specific factors which may be delineated at the time of approval.
(2)
At least 50 percent of the required common usable open space shall conform to the average overall slope within the development.
(3)
In the required open space, 50 percent may be left in its natural state. Open space left in its natural state shall be kept free of litter and shall at no time constitute a health, safety, fire or flood hazard. Areas devoted to natural or improved flood control channels and those areas encumbered by flowage, floodway or drainage easements may be applied toward satisfying this portion of the total open space requirement.
(b)
The required open space shall conform with the open space areas as designed in the parks plan.
(Ord. No. 301, § 1(A), 10-20-1997)
(a)
Purpose. The purpose of the R-1 district is the development of single-family detached houses at densities not to exceed six dwelling units per gross acre.
(b)
Use permitted by right.
(1)
One single-family detached dwelling with a basic minimum of 1,000 square feet of heated/cooled living space at a density of three dwelling units per acre maximum, is permitted by right as the primary or principal use on a lot of record.
(2)
In addition, the following system of dwelling size reduction will be required to buffer abutting subdivisions with differing minimum square footage of dwelling unit requirements. In order to simplify calculations, subdivisions with minimum residential square footage requirements above 2,000 square feet will be classified at 2,000 square feet.
(3)
A development plan must be submitted which indicates the minimum required heated/cooled living space of the residential subdivision and all abutting subdivisions, along with any proposed undisturbed buffer areas. This plan is submitted to the planning commission for review and approval during the preliminary platting process, and may be included as part of the preliminary plat.
(4)
A reduction in the minimum square footage allowed in a subdivision may be achieved by any combination of the following methods, up to a maximum of 23 percent. The following reductions are calculated from the abutting subdivision with the highest required minimum square footage of living area:
a.
A reduction in the minimum square footage by eight percent is allowed by right.
b.
A reduction in the minimum square footage by an additional five percent is allowed with the provision of each 50-foot buffer of undisturbed open space.
c.
A reduction in the minimum square footage by five percent is also allowed within a subdivision for each subsequent tier of lots or minimum of 150 feet, whichever is greater.
(c)
Accessory uses. The following accessory structures and uses of land shall be permitted provided such structures and uses of land are incidental to the principal use and do not include any activity commonly conducted as a business. Any accessory building shall be located on the same lot with the principal building. All accessory uses, except subsections (c)(3) and (4) of this section, require a city building permit. Subsection (c)(4) requires a city accessory zoning use permit as per section 94-101.
(1)
Private auto garages, storage shed or building for the storage of household related goods, and children's playhouses.
(2)
Private greenhouses for noncommercial horticultural purposes.
(3)

(d)
Temporary uses. The following temporary buildings and items of ownership where such building or item conforms to the height and yard requirements of this zone are permitted by right:
(1)
Recreational vehicles, camping trailers, boats, trailers, and the like shall be allowed when parked in garages or in the side yard behind any building line of the lot and behind the front face of the residence which is closest to the storage location so that the object will not be stored in front of any portion of the structure.
(2)
One portable or movable, storage or moving container may be placed in the driveway of a single-family residence for a maximum period of 30 days. The container must be permitted through the permit department of the city. No more than one such container may be used at a particular residence every six months, unless documentation of a change in ownership of the residence is provided at the time of permitting. These containers may not be placed in the street at any time. This restriction does not affect the foregoing provisions of this section concerning the accessory usage of storage shed or building for the storage of household related goods. If a storage or moving container will be used in excess of 30 days as set forth herein, the container must meet the requirements of an accessory use and be located behind the building setback line.
(3)

(Ord. No. 120, § 1, 9-6-1989; Ord. No. 229, § 1, 4-5-1994; Ord. No. 301, § 1(B), 10-20-1997; Ord. No. 332, § 2, 1-21-1999; Ord. No. 641, § 1, 8-20-2007; Ord. No. 691, § 1, 4-20-2009)
No building in the R-1 district erected or structurally altered shall exceed a height of 35 feet or be more than 2½ stories.
For off-street parking regulations, see article IV, division 3 of this chapter.
Yard space between a building wall and the adjacent lot line shall be measured perpendicular to the lot line at the point where the wall is closest to the lot line to determine the minimum allowable yard dimension. The closest point measurement is made to compensate for walls running at an angle (not parallel) to the lot line or walls with the vertical plane stepped back in 90-degree angular turns. The projection of uncovered, noncombustible porches or patios into yard space is permissible. Requirements are as follows:
(1)
For single-family detached:
a.
Density shall be three dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
b.
The minimum lot area shall be 7,500 square feet, with a lot width of not less than 60 feet at the front building line, but not to exceed the average density rate of three dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
c.
There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less than 25 feet, except as may be modified by the hillside development provision of chapter 70.
d.
There shall be a minimum required side yard setback on each side of the principal structure of ten percent of the lot width or eight feet, whichever is lesser. Encroachment of structural appurtenances, i.e., eaves, balconies, bay windows, shall not exceed two feet. Corner lots shall have a side yard on the exterior or street side of not less than 25 feet.
e.
There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet, excluding accessory buildings, which shall be a minimum of ten feet from the rear property line and no closer to a side lot line than the principal building line.
f.
The main building (principal use) and all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 33⅓ percent of the total lot area.
(2)
Smaller lot single-family detached is intended to provide all the amenities of low-density housing but on smaller lots. Each lot should, to the extent possible, be adjacent to the public open space system. The result is a permissible reduction in lot size.
a.
Density shall be six dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
b.
The minimum lot area shall be 4,000 square feet, with a lot width of not less than 50 feet at the front building line.
c.
There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet.
d.
There shall be a required side yard setback on each side of the principal structure of ten percent of the lot width or five feet, whichever is greater. Encroachment of structural appurtenances, i.e., eaves, balconies, bay windows, shall not exceed one foot. Corner lots shall have a side yard on the exterior or street side of not less than 15 feet.
e.
There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet; except when the rear lot line is directly adjacent to common open-space property, the rear yard may be reduced to a minimum of seven feet.
f.
The principal building and all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 40 percent of the total lot area.
(3)
The purpose of the single-family zero-lot-line housing type is to provide an additional choice in building arrangement on the lot. The arrangement eliminates one side yard thereby creating a more usable single-side yard on each lot. The units may be designed so that two units share a common structure wall which is contiguous with the interior lot line. The common structure wall shall be offset laterally so that each structure has an independent structure wall of at least 15 feet along the common property line. This should produce a staggered setback of each unit relative to the building line. An alternative is to design the plot plan so that each unit has a windowless wall sited along one lot line. In the latter case, the entire side yard separates the units. Due to small lots permitted in the zero-lot-line development, like the smaller lot single-family detached concept, each lot should to the extent possible be adjacent to the public open space system.
a.
The density shall be six dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
b.
The minimum lot area shall be 4,000 square feet, with a lot width of not less than 50 feet at the front building line.
c.
There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet.
d.
There shall be a minimum required side yard setback on one side of each lot of not less than 15 feet. Encroachment of structural appurtenances, i.e., eaves, balconies, bay windows, shall not exceed two feet. There shall be no extension of any part of a building beyond the zero lot line. Corner lots shall have a side yard on the exterior, or street side of not less than 15 feet.
e.
There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet; except when the rear lot line is directly adjacent to common open space property, the rear yard may be reduced to a minimum of seven feet.
f.
The principal building and all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 40 percent of the total lot area.

RESIDENTIAL
The R-1 residential district is intended for the building of a one-family dwelling on a separate and distinct platted lot. The R-1 district is applicable to those existing developed areas of the city which are developed as one-family dwellings on separate platted lots and for those undeveloped areas of the city which are appropriate for future development for single-family residence purposes. The existing areas and the appropriate undeveloped areas are delineated and indicated as SFD on the land use plan.
(a)
In the R-1 district, a minimum of seven to 15 percent of the gross area shall be designated as common usable open space. Open space shall be evaluated utilizing the following general guidelines:
(1)
The percentage of required common open space shall be determined by the planning commission according to the proposed lot sizes, the average slope of the subdivision, the areas involved in floodway or water or other specific factors which may be delineated at the time of approval.
(2)
At least 50 percent of the required common usable open space shall conform to the average overall slope within the development.
(3)
In the required open space, 50 percent may be left in its natural state. Open space left in its natural state shall be kept free of litter and shall at no time constitute a health, safety, fire or flood hazard. Areas devoted to natural or improved flood control channels and those areas encumbered by flowage, floodway or drainage easements may be applied toward satisfying this portion of the total open space requirement.
(b)
The required open space shall conform with the open space areas as designed in the parks plan.
(Ord. No. 301, § 1(A), 10-20-1997)
(a)
Purpose. The purpose of the R-1 district is the development of single-family detached houses at densities not to exceed six dwelling units per gross acre.
(b)
Use permitted by right.
(1)
One single-family detached dwelling with a basic minimum of 1,000 square feet of heated/cooled living space at a density of three dwelling units per acre maximum, is permitted by right as the primary or principal use on a lot of record.
(2)
In addition, the following system of dwelling size reduction will be required to buffer abutting subdivisions with differing minimum square footage of dwelling unit requirements. In order to simplify calculations, subdivisions with minimum residential square footage requirements above 2,000 square feet will be classified at 2,000 square feet.
(3)
A development plan must be submitted which indicates the minimum required heated/cooled living space of the residential subdivision and all abutting subdivisions, along with any proposed undisturbed buffer areas. This plan is submitted to the planning commission for review and approval during the preliminary platting process, and may be included as part of the preliminary plat.
(4)
A reduction in the minimum square footage allowed in a subdivision may be achieved by any combination of the following methods, up to a maximum of 23 percent. The following reductions are calculated from the abutting subdivision with the highest required minimum square footage of living area:
a.
A reduction in the minimum square footage by eight percent is allowed by right.
b.
A reduction in the minimum square footage by an additional five percent is allowed with the provision of each 50-foot buffer of undisturbed open space.
c.
A reduction in the minimum square footage by five percent is also allowed within a subdivision for each subsequent tier of lots or minimum of 150 feet, whichever is greater.
(c)
Accessory uses. The following accessory structures and uses of land shall be permitted provided such structures and uses of land are incidental to the principal use and do not include any activity commonly conducted as a business. Any accessory building shall be located on the same lot with the principal building. All accessory uses, except subsections (c)(3) and (4) of this section, require a city building permit. Subsection (c)(4) requires a city accessory zoning use permit as per section 94-101.
(1)
Private auto garages, storage shed or building for the storage of household related goods, and children's playhouses.
(2)
Private greenhouses for noncommercial horticultural purposes.
(3)

(1)
Recreational vehicles, camping trailers, boats, trailers, and the like shall be allowed when parked in garages or in the side yard behind any building line of the lot and behind the front face of the residence which is closest to the storage location so that the object will not be stored in front of any portion of the structure.
(2)
One portable or movable, storage or moving container may be placed in the driveway of a single-family residence for a maximum period of 30 days. The container must be permitted through the permit department of the city. No more than one such container may be used at a particular residence every six months, unless documentation of a change in ownership of the residence is provided at the time of permitting. These containers may not be placed in the street at any time. This restriction does not affect the foregoing provisions of this section concerning the accessory usage of storage shed or building for the storage of household related goods. If a storage or moving container will be used in excess of 30 days as set forth herein, the container must meet the requirements of an accessory use and be located behind the building setback line.
(3)

(Ord. No. 120, § 1, 9-6-1989; Ord. No. 229, § 1, 4-5-1994; Ord. No. 301, § 1(B), 10-20-1997; Ord. No. 332, § 2, 1-21-1999; Ord. No. 641, § 1, 8-20-2007; Ord. No. 691, § 1, 4-20-2009)
No building in the R-1 district erected or structurally altered shall exceed a height of 35 feet or be more than 2½ stories.
For off-street parking regulations, see article IV, division 3 of this chapter.
Yard space between a building wall and the adjacent lot line shall be measured perpendicular to the lot line at the point where the wall is closest to the lot line to determine the minimum allowable yard dimension. The closest point measurement is made to compensate for walls running at an angle (not parallel) to the lot line or walls with the vertical plane stepped back in 90-degree angular turns. The projection of uncovered, noncombustible porches or patios into yard space is permissible. Requirements are as follows:
(1)
For single-family detached:
a.
Density shall be three dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
b.
The minimum lot area shall be 7,500 square feet, with a lot width of not less than 60 feet at the front building line, but not to exceed the average density rate of three dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
c.
There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less than 25 feet, except as may be modified by the hillside development provision of chapter 70.
d.
There shall be a minimum required side yard setback on each side of the principal structure of ten percent of the lot width or eight feet, whichever is lesser. Encroachment of structural appurtenances, i.e., eaves, balconies, bay windows, shall not exceed two feet. Corner lots shall have a side yard on the exterior or street side of not less than 25 feet.
e.
There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet, excluding accessory buildings, which shall be a minimum of ten feet from the rear property line and no closer to a side lot line than the principal building line.
f.
The main building (principal use) and all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 33⅓ percent of the total lot area.
(2)
Smaller lot single-family detached is intended to provide all the amenities of low-density housing but on smaller lots. Each lot should, to the extent possible, be adjacent to the public open space system. The result is a permissible reduction in lot size.
a.
Density shall be six dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
b.
The minimum lot area shall be 4,000 square feet, with a lot width of not less than 50 feet at the front building line.
c.
There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet.
d.
There shall be a required side yard setback on each side of the principal structure of ten percent of the lot width or five feet, whichever is greater. Encroachment of structural appurtenances, i.e., eaves, balconies, bay windows, shall not exceed one foot. Corner lots shall have a side yard on the exterior or street side of not less than 15 feet.
e.
There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet; except when the rear lot line is directly adjacent to common open-space property, the rear yard may be reduced to a minimum of seven feet.
f.
The principal building and all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 40 percent of the total lot area.
(3)
The purpose of the single-family zero-lot-line housing type is to provide an additional choice in building arrangement on the lot. The arrangement eliminates one side yard thereby creating a more usable single-side yard on each lot. The units may be designed so that two units share a common structure wall which is contiguous with the interior lot line. The common structure wall shall be offset laterally so that each structure has an independent structure wall of at least 15 feet along the common property line. This should produce a staggered setback of each unit relative to the building line. An alternative is to design the plot plan so that each unit has a windowless wall sited along one lot line. In the latter case, the entire side yard separates the units. Due to small lots permitted in the zero-lot-line development, like the smaller lot single-family detached concept, each lot should to the extent possible be adjacent to the public open space system.
a.
The density shall be six dwelling units per gross acre maximum.
b.
The minimum lot area shall be 4,000 square feet, with a lot width of not less than 50 feet at the front building line.
c.
There shall be a front yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet.
d.
There shall be a minimum required side yard setback on one side of each lot of not less than 15 feet. Encroachment of structural appurtenances, i.e., eaves, balconies, bay windows, shall not exceed two feet. There shall be no extension of any part of a building beyond the zero lot line. Corner lots shall have a side yard on the exterior, or street side of not less than 15 feet.
e.
There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than 15 feet; except when the rear lot line is directly adjacent to common open space property, the rear yard may be reduced to a minimum of seven feet.
f.
The principal building and all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 40 percent of the total lot area.
