B. Zone Hierarchy : Zone-lo-Zone Credit Transfer <br />The transfer of allotments from 7one lo rnni; inrr<»n<#>g tTio <br />complexity of adminisuation but is often appropriate under specific <br />circumstances: <br />a. The City has generally allowed credit for umred hardcover <br />allotment to be transferred to zones fiiiilKr from the lake. For instance, <br />a property that would normally be "Motted, say, 5000 s.f. of hardcover <br />m the 75-250' zone but is only using 3000 s.f in that zone, can credit <br />the remaining 2000 s.f. for use in the 250-500* zone. Conceivably, the <br />250-500' zone could then have more than its 30% allotment, but would <br />not need a variance. A record of this transfer must be kept so that it <br />will be noted for the future that Uie 75-250* zone hardcover can no <br />longer be increased to its 25% limit. <br />tlie lake. <br />b. Unused hardcover carmot be transferred to a zone closer lo <br />c. E.xccssive Wdeover should be (but perhaps in practice Is not <br />always) debited against the allotment for the next zone further from <br />the lake. For instance, if the 75'-250' zone has 1000 s.f more <br />hardcover than its allotmer.r and the 250’-500' zone would normally be <br />allotted 5000 s.f, then the 250-500' zone should be allowed no more <br />than 4000 s.f. of hardcover <br />nXANpLE 1. An existing house is mostly in the 0-75' <br />zone, but its 75-250' zone has only 15% hardcover. Should the <br />property owner be allowed to increase hardcover in the 75-250* <br />zone to the 25% limit? No. Tha-. .vould make the propert>- even <br />less conforming. Variance required. <br />EX.*\MV^ • 2. Same scenario as Example 1. Should the <br />property owner be allowed to increase 75-250* hardcover <br />(without a variance) only up to a level equal to his 25% <br />allotment mmiiS (he existing no n-cor^forminf squarf fpotnyp in <br />the 0-757 Usually not. The property is in violation already, <br />and any increases should be considered in the context of a <br />variance request which provides the opport’mity fo' possible <br />removals or mitigations. <br />^X.\MPLE 3. Hardcover in tlie 0 /5' and 75-250* zones <br />IS CO .niung, but the 250-500* zone is very small . ^d already <br />has much more than its 30% allolr.ent.
