Background:
Section 5.8.D of the Zoning Ordinance is proposed to be modified to update the Downtown Residential Overlay District (DROD) requirements. The DROD was approved by the City Council in December 2017 and has been in effect since January 2, 2018. Since that time, approximately 7 homes have been constructed in the Downtown Area using the DROD. The following updates are proposed to modify the DROD standards.
Transitional setbacks are proposed to be removed from the DROD standards. Each building form section makes reference to transitional setbacks. These references are being removed on the pages identified in the following chart.
Additional information is being provided in the notes section of the single-family and two family building form categories to clarify setbacks on corner lots, driveway and garage widths and alley access. The other proposed changes simply further define finished floor height as stem wall height and note the maximum front wall width as a maximum continuous wall width. Detailed changes are noted below.
