Page 5 of 7 Lake Johanna Blvd is a county road and is identified as a community street in the Subdivision code and as a collector street in the Zoning Code. Section 1325.06 of the Zoning Code requires single- family dwellings to provide two (2) off-street parking spaces and all off-street parking spaces shall have access driveways and access directly to public streets. Any residential lot, with frontage on both a local street and a collector street must access the property only from the local street. Based on the code requirements, Subject Property B is required to be accessed from a local street, in this case the requirement is met by the access off Oak Avenue. Size – Meets Requirements All lots are required to meet the minimum lot dimensions and lot area required by the Zoning Code. The minimum lot area in the R-1 District is 14,000 square feet. The minimum lot width is 95 feet and the minimum depth is 130 feet. The subject properties will comply with the minimum lot area, width, and depth in the R-1 District. These conditions are met by the proposed resulting properties A and B. Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 2. District Provisions (R-1, Single Family Residential Zoning District) – Section 1320.06 Lot Size and Dimensions – Meets Requirements The proposed subject properties will comply with the required lot size and dimensions. Structure Setbacks with Adjusted Lot Lines – Meets Requirements No structural changes are proposed on any subject property. The minimum principal structure setbacks in the R-1 District are 40 feet in the front yard, 30 feet in the rear yard (Principal), a 10- foot minimum in the side yard with both side yards required to add up to a total of 25 feet (Principal), and 10 feet in the rear and side yard (Accessory). The existing principal structure on Subject Property B is shown on the existing survey as having a footprint that goes over the property line into Subject Property C. Based on the consideration of the lot split alone, these requirements are met, and existing legal nonconformities will not be changed. Lot Coverage – Meets Requirements The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-1 District is 25 percent of the lot area. The minimum landscape lot area is 65 percent. All Subject Properties meet the structure and landscape coverage requirements after the proposed subdivision. Accessory Structures – Nonconforming, existing legal Subject Properties B and C are nonconforming with zoning requirements for accessory structures. On existing Subject Property C, there is a 780 square foot detached garage where there is no principal structure, and the detached garage is not located behind the front building line of a principal structure which are not permitted. Per Section 1325.01, no accessory structure shall be constructed on any lot prior to the time of construction of the principal structure to which it is accessory. Additionally, accessory structures in the R-1 District shall not be located nearer the front lot line than the front yard setback line for the principal structure to which it is accessory. The existing detached garage is therefore an existing and legal nonconformity that will not change. The Applicant owns and uses Subject Properties B and C together and has not pursued development of Property C as a separate residential use. Subject Property B has four existing
