Intent. The City of Red Bank has rezoned property in several neighborhoods from the R-2 and R-3 residential zones to the R-1 and R-1A residential zones. This special exceptions permit would allow structures that were constructed as two-family or multi-family dwellings to be able to continue such use after the loss of legal nonconforming status. The purpose of this permit is to provide relief, if deemed appropriate, to property owners of certain two-family and multi-family dwellings, which under R-1 zoning could only be used as single-family residences.

2)

The request is consistent with the zoning study that rezoned the subject property from R-2 or R-3 to R-1 or R-1A.

3)

Issuance of the permit will not be detrimental to surrounding properties and could benefit the neighborhood by encouraging an increase in investment in the property.

(E)

Special conditions. The Red Bank City Commission upon recommendation by the Red Bank Planning Commission may issue a special exceptions permit with special conditions to be met by the applicant if deemed necessary and appropriate by the board. The board may also allow exceptions in minimum lot area requirements and off-street parking requirements if appropriate.

303.01

Intent. It is the intent of this section to provide an alternative standard for development of single-family residential neighborhoods in the R-1 residential zone. This development standard is designed to encourage open space design combined with a traditional or connected street network. In addition to a subdivision plat, all developments proposed under these standards require site plan review in order to determine their appropriateness in each instance. These standards are considered minimum standards and do not prevent the development from exceeding these requirements in terms of open space, landscaping, and lot and frontage standards.

303.02

Site design principles.

(A)

Development should be encouraged where adequate services are available.

(B)

Site design and intensity should be sensitive to environmental constraints resulting from the existing land features and strive to preserve and maintain deciduous woodlands, floodplains, wetlands and steep slopes from clearing, grading, filling or unwarranted construction.

(C)

The development should provide open space that is reasonably contiguous, and whose configuration does not fragment the open space into remnant parcels which are not usable for social activity and recreation. Where applicable, the open space should be connected to similar facilities off site.

(D)

The development should provide quality public spaces such as streets, sidewalks, parks and squares where citizens come to know each other and promote collective security.

(E)

House lots should be grouped closely together in order to reduce road lengths and to preserve open space.

(F)

Roads should be designed as networks, with interconnecting links and with minimal use of cul-de-sacs or dead ends. Road systems should be designed to connect with adjacent development or provide for the possible connection to abutting property if development occurs. In a like manner, trails and sidewalks should interconnect with existing or proposed facilities.

(G)

Access should be provided from individual house lots to open space areas to the maximum extent possible.

303.03

Site design process. The site designer should design the open space subdivision utilizing the following suggested process:

(A)

The site should be examined for special features and natural characteristics or resources. This entails mapping environmental elements of the site including the slopes, floodplains, sinkholes, utility recharge areas, historic features, streams, watercourses, and deciduous woodlands.

(B)

The designer should locate open spaces, meadows, shoreline borders and special scenic vistas and add these features to the site elements previously mapped.

(C)

Third, select house sites that in large measure avoid the identified limitations and take advantage of the site's special characteristics. Fourth, based on these house site locations, configure the road alignments and pedestrian connections. Finally, add lot lines based on the required road frontage and lot square footage standards.

303.04(A)

Permitted uses. All uses permitted in the R-1 residential zone as specified by section 14-301.01 and all uses permitted in the R-1A residential zone as specified by section 14-302.01.

303.04

Height and area regulations, open space.

(A)

The minimum development site area for a project developed under these standards is ten acres.

(B)

All property developed under these standards must be served by public sanitary sewers.

(C)

No building shall exceed two and one-half stories or 35 feet in height, except that a building may exceed these height regulations provided that for every one-foot of additional height over 35 feet the building shall be setback one additional foot from all property lines.

(D)

The minimum lot size shall be 5,000 square feet.

(E)

The minimum lot frontage with front-entering (loading) driveways and garages is 60 feet. For rear loading driveways and garages, the minimum lot frontage is 50 feet.

(F)

There shall be a front yard of not less than 15 feet except that a permanently unenclosed porch, portico, entry landing or similar structure may extend into the required front yard setback area no more than five feet.

(G)

There shall be a side yard on each side of the building of not less than ten feet except that a bay window, entry landing, portico or chimney may extend into the required side yard no more than five feet.

As an alternative to the ten-foot side yard requirement, a five-foot side yard may be utilized under the condition that no permitted element of the building structure other than the allowable eaves overhang is permitted in the five-foot yard setback, including, but not limited to heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC), porches, decks, porticoes, entry landings or similar structures. For corner lot side yard requirements, see section 14-301.02(D).

(H)

There shall be a rear yard of not less than 25 feet for lots with front-entering driveways, except that permanently unenclosed porch, portico, entry landing or similar structure five feet in width may extend into the required rear yard no more than five feet. For lots with rear entering driveways and using alleys for access, there shall be a rear yard of not less than 18 feet except that a permanently unenclosed porch, portico, entry landing or similar structure five feet in width may extend into the required rear yard no more than five feet.

(I)

For residential structures with front-entering (loading) driveways and garages, the garage door must be setback from the front face of the structure eight feet or more.

(J)

Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of any new rights-of-way which are shown on the required subdivision plat/site development plan or along any existing streets which provide direct access to houses built under the terms and standards of these regulations. These sidewalks are to be built to standards as specified in the subdivision regulations.

(K)

Street trees are to be incorporated along all public streets on lots developed under these provisions at a maximum planting interval of 25 feet. These trees should have an expected mature height of at least 35 feet and are to be installed at a minimum height of 12 feet. All plantings must be trees. Plants that are commonly identified as a shrub are not acceptable. In planting the street trees, it is preferable to plant any required tree behind the outside edge of the sidewalk if the planting strip between the sidewalk and the curb is less than six feet wide.

(L)

Detached accessory buildings are permitted subject to site plan review for type and location.

(M)

A minimum of 30 percent of the gross site area must be set aside as open space (as shown on the site plan). This open space set aside is in addition to areas that are in a designated floodway zone. Fragmentation of open space should be minimized and therefore no parcel of open space should be less than one acre in size, except for areas specifically designed as village greens, ball fields, buffers, and trail links. The open space should be immediately accessible to the maximum number of house lots on adjacent parcels or through pedestrian linkages to these open areas. The open space shall remain undivided and may be owned and managed by a homeowners' association, the City of Red Bank, or a recognized land trust or conservancy. The ownership will be specified on the subdivision plat. Any ownership by the City of Red Bank must be approved by the City of Red Bank through resolution or ordinance of its board of commissioners.

(N)

Where required, public or private alley rights-of-way or easements shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width. These alleys are to be built according to specifications of the city manager or his/her designee.

(O)

Rights-of-way shall be designed to maximize the connections between streets. The use of cul-de-sacs should be minimized and are only allowed where there are topographic or environmental constraints on the land. Future connections to abutting land will be required as deemed necessary or where future development is anticipated.
