(2.0 acres) 200’ <br />Actual 21,644 s.f. (0.5 acre)* 119.25’ <br />*After removal of the right-of-way areas. Gross area = 32,658 s.f. (0.75 acre) – ROW 11,014 s.f. = <br />21,644 s.f. (0.5 acre) net. <br /> <br />Section 78-1403- Structural Building Coverage: <br />Total Lot Area Total Structural Coverage <br />21,644 s.f. (0.5 acre) Allowed: 4,328 s.f. (20%) <br />Proposed: 2,383 s.f. (11%) <br /> <br />Applicable Regulations: <br />Lot Area and Lot Width Variances (Section 78-420) <br />Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not meet the <br />minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard properties within <br />a Rural District greater than one acre in area and not served by city sewer, like the subject lot within <br />the RR-1B District, are able to be redeveloped without variances if specific standards are met; such as: <br />1. The lot area and lot width each meet at least 50 percent of the district standard. <br />2. Suitable primary and alternate septic sites are identified on the property and are protected <br />from future development by execution of a covenant. <br />3. All other zoning ordinance requirements must be met, including but not limited to the <br />following: <br />a. Setbacks. <br />b. Hardcover. <br />c. Lot coverage by structures. <br />d. Accessory structure requirements. <br /> <br />The property’s size does not meet 50% of the RR-1B District 2-acre requirement for area (50% = 1-acre) <br />and lack of a second septic treatment area result in the property’s inability to conform to all of the <br />standards above. Therefore, lot area and lot width variances are required in order to redevelop the <br />property. The ability to develop the property consistent with other existing developed properties in the <br />neighborhood would be limited if the area and width variances are not granted. <br /> <br />Governing Regulation: Variance (Section 78-123) <br />In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the <br />proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated <br />traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of <br />property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval
