#05-3102 920 Brown Rd. S. April 14, 2005 Page2 Background Zoning History. This property, with the existing house, was split off from the larger parcel to the south and east in 1962. At that time the City merely required that the new vacant lot to the south substantially meet the 140' width, I-acre area requirement then in effect, and allowed the existing house at 920 Brown Road to remain on a lot 11 0' wide and just one acre in area (:including the road right-of-way). The zoning in this area changed in 1967 to "R-lB", requiring 1-1/2 acres, 150' width, and 15' side setbacks. The zoning changed again in 1975 to "RR-lB" as it is today, requiring 2.0 acres, 200' width, and 30' side setbacks. It would therefore be reasonable to conclude that the property has been substandard in width since it was created in 1962, and has become more substandard each time the zoning has changed.
