C. Building Coverage and Landscaped Lot Area The applicants have submitted a site plan that indicates proposed building pads for each lot. The building pads reflect the typical area of each lot that a home would be built upon. Based on a measurement of the proposed building pads, each lot can be constructed to meet the City’s required building coverage maximum and landscaped lot area minimums. The maximum lot coverage for impervious surfaces is 35% and the minimum landscape coverage is 65% in the R-2 Zoning District. D. Building Height and Density The maximum building height in the R-2 District is 35 feet. None of the homes constructed on this site would exceed the City’s height requirements. The maximum density allowed by the Zoning Code within the R-2 District is 5 units per net acre. There are 4.54 buildable acres on this property. The construction of seven (7) single- family units would result in a net density of 1.54 units per acre. The City’s C omprehensive Plan currently sets the minimum density allowed for new development at 1.5 units per acre. The land use classification of Very Low Density is defined as 1.5 to 3 units per acre. If the proposed development is approved the City will reclassify this property in the 2030 Future Land Use Map as Very Low Density. F. Setbacks The minimum building setbacks in the R-2 District are 40 feet in the front yard, 30 feet in the rear yard, and 5 feet minimum in a side yard, with both sides required to add up to 15 feet. All setback requirements stated in the Zoning Code are being met by the proposed Valentine Bluff development.
