Height Meets Requirements The maximum height for buildings in the B3 District is 35 feet. None of the proposed buildings would exceed this height. C. Setbacks Flexibility Requested The minimum setback for principal buildings in the B3 District is 50 feet in the front yard, and 20 feet in the rear and side yards. For accessory structures, the minimum setback is 10 feet in the rear and side yards. In planned unit developments, the building setbacks from the internal lot lines are less of a concern. The primary concern is the setback measurement from Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue, and the adjacent properties to the west and the south of the development. The following table lists the setbacks for each building. Red Fox Road Lexington Western Southern Avenue Boundary Boundary Phase I - Building #1 52' 20' - - Phase I - Accessory 2' - 9" 2' - 9" - - Structure Phase II - Building #2 122' - 45' - Phase III - Building #3 - 20' - 105' Phase III - Building #4 - - 20' 20' Phase III - Building #5 - - 20' 165' Requirement 20 Feet (Principal); 10 50 Feet 20 Feet 20 Feet Feet (Accessory) The applicant has requested a 20 foot front property line setback for the Phase I building and for one of the buildings proposed for Phase III of the development. Staff is favorable to this request given the unusually large County right of way on Lexington Avenue, which measures approximately 55 feet in width from the Lexington Avenue curb to the property line. The accessory structure proposed in Phase I would be situated approximately 3 feet from the front and side property line. This structure will extend out from a proposed retaining wall that will run along eastern and northern sides of the northeast corner of the property. Staff is favorable to this proposal because the structure will be entirely screened from view behind the retaining wall. The other four proposed buildings all meet the minimum setback requirements.
