1. For the purposes of site planning, minimum setback requirements for R-3B, R-3C, and R-5 zoning categories, which are intended for attached and multi-family residential product, are to be applied per building, so that buildings may be setback from public or private rights-of-way and other buildings. Units within buildings may be ultimately platted with buildings subdivided into individual unit lots which may or may not include yard area in the lot area to be sold.
2. Refer to Section 7.304(1)(b), Conditional Use Permit.
3. The minimum Dwelling Unit Floor Area in a platted subdivision or common development is established at 1,000 sq. ft. or as follows:
a. No less than the Dwelling Unit Floor Area of any Dwelling Unit issued a Model Home Permit in accordance with Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Woodstock; or
b. Without a Model Home Permit, no less than the Dwelling Unit Floor Area of the first Dwelling Unit issued a Certificate of Occupancy in the platted subdivision; or
c. Established with a zoning decision; or
d. Otherwise set forth by the Land Development Ordinance.
A reduction in the minimum Dwelling Unit Floor Area can be requested with direct appeal to the City Council.
Note: Setbacks are required whether the right-of-way is public or private. For the purposes of this provision a private right-of-way shall run to the adjacent property or lot and the setbacks shall be determined from the property line of the adjacent property or lot unless the private right-of-way is by easement, in which event the setback shall begin at the paved area of the private right-of-way.
