Inter-Departnientn' Memo andum
Non--eon€orming substandard lots in zones, requiring dere Side yard
setbacks have severely 1imitedbu3lding envelope avaleble. dor example
a 75: €t. wide lot, created legally before the adoption o,f,an-4p or sim�ar
zone, would have it I" building :envelope reduced from 65 ft, with 5 ft: sine
Yards to 25 ft.with, the 25 ft,. side yards required with, h the A-:GO or sim•
1 ,ar
zone. While a 25 €t. w'�dc> envelope may be; buildable it reve.r,ly limits the
design; orientation,, and useability of the property.
SUGGESTED SQLUTIgN:.
Adopt a standard minimum building envelope width of 75 fret for sub-
standard nein-conforming lots: Allow the side yard setback requirements to
be reduced 'by 5 ft. increments until at least a 75 ft, wide building envelope
is achieved,. No; side yard setback requirements .is to be reduced below 5 ft.
if this method still did riot yield a usable building envelope, then the
Variance procedure may be appropriate, The above procedure should. be `
approved iri each And 'eve case by the Planning, Director or deputy After.'e
f'indin`g that the subject property is a legally nonconforming lot:
ADVANTAGE:'
Allows the modification of tiuilding setback xequiremenCs in'extreme, cases
'At staff level; 'while maintaining maximum seFarat3.ori between bind ngs on
adjacent lots, thereby'perserving`the rural ,character of the area.
DrgAVANTAGES
