Page 4 of 10 Plan Evaluation Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 1. District Provisions (R-1, Single Family Residential Zoning District) – Section 1320.06 Lot Size and Dimensions – Meets Requirement The Subject Property has a lot area of 43,740 square feet. Section 1320 – District Provisions of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet per single-family dwelling unit. Structure Setbacks – Variance Requested In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, respectively. The minimum side yard setback in the R-1 District is 10 feet and 25 feet combined. In Section 1325.03, Exceptions to the Minimum Requirements for All Districts, it is established that in the R-1 Zoning District, decks may extend six (6) feet into the required front, side, and rear setbacks but in no case shall these encroachments be less than six (6) feet from any lot line. The proposed deck would not impact the front yard setback or the side yard setback as measured to the north property line. The submitted site plan shows that the proposed side yard setback would be 27.4 feet, which exceeds the minimum setback permitted for a deck. The proposed larger deck would expand the footprint of the existing deck at its current rear yard setback of 8.8 feet which is also the setback of the principal structure. The proposed deck would not extend closer to the rear property line than the existing principal structure and deck. The table below provides the minimum district requirements for the R-1 District and a preliminary analysis of setbacks for the proposed deck: R-1 District Requirements Existing Proposed Deck Review of Proposed Minimum Front Yard Setback 40 feet 133.7 feet (principal structure) 133.7 feet maintained No change, Meets Requirements Minimum Rear Yard Setback 30 feet (principal structure) 24 feet (deck) 8.8 feet (principal structure and deck) 8.8 feet Variance Requested for expansion Minimum Side Yard Setback 10 feet (min)/25 feet (total) 6 feet (deck) 32.62 feet and 97.37 feet/130 feet (total) 27.4 feet and 97.37 feet/124.77 feet (total) Meets Requirements Landscaped Area and Structure Coverage – Meets Requirements The proposal complies with all other applicable city codes for the R-1 Zoning District.
