Lot Coverage
<br />The zoning code has numerous requirements that restrict the size and scale of what can be built,
<br />such as maximum structure coverage, minimum greenspace, setbacks, building height and floor
<br />area ratio (FAR). For the purpose of discussion, the table below depicts the difference in lot
<br />coverage requirements between the previous approved plan and the proposed plan. It should be
<br />noted that the example below shows the maximum square footage that could be built based on the
<br />current zoning and are not what is proposed at this time for the site. The table shows that the
<br />proposed plan would reduce the buildable area compared to the previously approved plan.
<br />The maximum building height in the R-2 District is 35 feet. All homes constructed on the site will
<br />be required to meet the City's height requirements. The images below are some examples of
<br />potential housing product submitted by the applicant (Attachment E). It is important to note that
<br />the final product design could vary as the proposed developer builds custom homes to meet their
<br />clients design requirements.
<br />Setbacks
<br />The minimum building setbacks in the R-2 District are 40 feet in the front yard, 30 feet in the rear
<br />yard, and a 5 -foot minimum in the side yard, with both sides required to add up to a minimum of
<br />15 feet. Based on the site plan provided, all setback requirements stated in the Zoning Code would
<br />be met by the proposed development. In addition, the Applicant incorporated feedback provided
<br />from a resident at the June 11, 2019 neighborhood meeting. The resident asked the Applicant if it
<br />were possible to increase the front yard setback from south to north to better match the character
<br />of the existing neighborhood. The Applicant reviewed the proposal and implemented the
<br />recommendation as shown on the submitted plan and below. The front yard setback to the dwelling
