D District "LLO" - Legacy Lot Overlay District
Section 400.077 Use, Height And Area Regulations Of Legacy Lot Overlay District.
[Ord. No. 9117, 1-8-2026]
A.
Purpose And Intent. The purpose of the Residential Compatibility Overlay District is to recognize the unique conditions of older neighborhoods where lots were platted prior to the adoption of current minimum lot size requirements. Many existing homes and vacant lots in these areas do not meet present-day dimensional standards, resulting in hardships when owners seek to rebuild or develop. The overlay district provides flexibility for the use, repair, and reconstruction of existing residential lots while maintaining compatibility with surrounding development, stabilization of property values, and preserving the character of the neighborhood.
B.
Location. These regulations shall apply to lots currently zoned District "A" or District "B," within the following boundaries:
North Boundary: Cleveland Avenue;
