(1) See Section 588 (Yards and Courts) for exceptions, deviations, and encroachments from minimum yard (setback)
requirements.
(2) For C1, C2, C3, M1, and M2 Districts: Minimum interior side and rear yard requirements are waived if the yard is
contiguous to C1, C2, C3, M1 or M2 zoned property. A setback of twenty feet (20’) shall be required whenever a lot zoned
commercial or industrial abuts a lot zoned for residential purposes. Front and exterior side yard requirements shall be
observed in all cases.
PLEASE NOTE: DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, OTHER THAN STRUCTURES HOUSING ANIMALS,
MAY BE PLACED WITHIN FIVE FEET (5') TO REAR LOT LINE. ALL OTHER SETBACKS AND BUILDING
SPACING SEPARATIONS MUST BE ACHIEVED.
PLEASE NOTE: THE ABOVE IS GENERAL INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS IN
THE CREATION OF A BUILDABLE PARCEL. IT DOES NOT DEAL WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, SUCH AS
BUILDING SAFETY, FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT, ENVIRONMENTAL UNIT OR ENGINEERING. THESE
DEPARTMENTS SHOULD BE CONTACTED BEFORE ANY ACTUAL SPLITTING IS PURSUED.
DENSITY FORMULAS are hereby established for each Density District for the purpose of determining
(where applicable) the amount of lot area required for each dwelling unit, hotel or motel unit, or mobile
home court space.
A. In applying Density Formulas to determine the number of units allowed on a lot, credit shall be
allowed for the area of any contiguous dedicated half street or half alley (or similar dedicated
easements).
B. Where dwelling units are combined with non-residential uses or structures on a conforming lot,
then each eight hundred (800) square feet (or fraction thereof) of area occupied by such shall be
deducted from the total Density Formula area in determining the number of units allowed.
C. The Density may be reduced twenty percent (20%) for any units consisting of a combined bed-
living room (commonly referred to as an efficiency apartment).
