The purpose of this chapter is to establish bulk, density and setback regulations for proper spacing and distribution of development to achieve the goals, objectives and polices of the comprehensive plan.

(Ord. 584 § 2(part), 1997).

Building setbacks, lot dimensional requirements and maximum densities shall be as provided in Table 1, below.

Table 1

¹ Setbacks measured to nearest projection from structure thirty inches above grade: however, the administrator may grant minor deviations of up to two feet for eaves or similar objects located over eight feet above grade after considering whether a hardship exists, practical alternatives, and potential impacts to adjacent properties.

² In the case of corner lots, a front yard of the required depth shall be provided in accordance with the prevailing yard pattern and a second front yard of half the depth required for front yards in the district shall be provided on the other frontage.

³ When duplexes or triplexes are to be built within subdivisions created prior to Jan. 1, 1993, the minimum lot size shall be increased by not less than two thousand square feet for each unit and maximum densities for PDs and subdivisions shall not apply.

⁴ Where commercial and industrial districts abut residential districts, side and rear setbacks shall be at least fifteen feet for the property line of the commercial or industrial property that abuts the residential district. This provision shall not apply if a street or alley separates the districts.

⁵ Standards are for single-family residential uses. All other standards shall be established by the administrator on a case-by-case basis where standards shall be ap plied based on the standards of adjacent uses and districts.

(Ord. 584 §2(part), 1997).

(Ord. No. 751, § 1, 10-21-2008)

Height, bulk and coverage requirements shall be those provided in Table 2 below.

Table 2

Notes:

¹ Belfries, chimneys, church spires, fire and hose towers, smokestacks, utility transmission towers and similar structures and/or projections that, by their nature, must exceed height limitations shall require a conditional use permit. Applications for such structures shall not be approved unless it is found that the intent of the district is being met and the health, safety and welfare of the public is not at risk. Additionally, consideration shall be given to the effect such structure will have on views of the land and mountainous areas surrounding the city.

² Minimum width and length of residential strictures is 17 feet (see minimum design standards for district).

³ Minimum width and length of residential strictures is 14 feet (see minimum design standards for district).

⁴ Standards are for single-family residential uses. All other standards shall be established by the administrator on a case-by-case basis where standards shall be applied based on the standards of adjacent uses and districts.

⁵ All storm water dispersal shall be addressed as per Section 18.02.140 of this code.

⁶ Lot coverage may be increased when approved by the administrator on a case-by-case basis where an application shows compliance with storm-water clarifying and dispersal standards for a 100-year event and provides landscaping/screening based on the scope and intensity of the use and appropriate to the intent of the district and reasonably buffers adjacent uses and activities.
