Setbacks – Meets Requirements The minimum setback for principal buildings in the I-1 District is 55 feet in the front yard, and 20 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 Lexington Avenue, Cummings Park Drive, and the adjacent properties to the west and north of the site. The existing structures on the site meet all of the required setback requirements. No modifications to the current structures are proposed as part of this application. Section 1325 – General Regulations A. Tree Preservation – Section 1325.055 – Meets Requirements The applicant submitted a Site and Removals Plan and a Landscaping Plan as part of their tree preservation and mitigation requirements. The following table outlines these numbers and the additional requirements of the tree preservation ordinance pertaining to tree removal and tree mitigation regulations.

B. Requirements for Parking, Loading, and Circulation – Section 1325.06 Area and Dimensions of Each Parking Space – Meets Requirements The Zoning Code requires individual parking stalls to be at least 9 feet in width and 18 feet in length. All of the new parking stalls shown on the Site Plan conform to this standard. Location of Parking Spaces – Meets Requirements The minimum parking lot setback in the I-1 District is 5 feet from any property line. For a PUD, this setback is measured from the external lot lines and not the internal lot lines. All proposed parking stalls would meet the 5-foot setback requirement from the external property lines.
