To: Roseville City Council Date: 12/5/2010 Thomas Paschl1e Regarding: Suggestion on new zoning code Topline: This serves as a suggestion to review and increase the minimum setback requirements for the new residential districts HDR -1 multi family and HDR -2 (proposed code section 1004.11(B)). Current proposed: Maximum Density 24 units /net acre None Minimum Density 12 units /net acre 24 units /net acre Maximum Building Height 35 feet 65 feet Maximum improvement Area 75% 75% 85% Minimum front Yard Building Setback Street 30 feet 30 feet 10 feet Interior Courtyard 10 feet 10 feet 15 feet Minimum Side Yard Building Setback Interior 8 feet (end unit) 10 feet 20% height of the building Corner 15 feet 20 feet 20% height of the building Minimum Rear Yard Building Setback 30 feet 30 feet 50% height of the building Suggested Changes: 1. Increase the interior side setback to a minimum of 50% of the rear yard setback for HDR -1 multifamily and HDR -2. 2. Increase the HDR -2 interior and corner setbacks from a set "20% of the height of the building" to a minimum setback of "15 ft. or 50% of height of the building 3. Add some language that allows for City Council discretion to reasonably adjust parameters given the location of the project and the topographical nature of the parcel. Rationale: 1. Using a percent of height on HDR -2 for side yard set back causes logical discrepancies with the HDR -1 criteria. (i.e. a 65 ft. HDR -1 structure has side yard setbacks of: corner 20 ft. and interior 10 ft., while the same building in an HDR -2 would have corner setback of 13 ft. and interior of 12 ft.).
