Maximum heights for structures; <br /> 2. Maximum lot coverage; <br /> 3. Minimum building site sizes (a density increase is not permitted); <br /> 4. Minimum front, side, and rear yard setback requirements; <br /> 5. Minimum number of parking spaces required and parking space <br /> design <br /> (b) The following modifications to R-1 (Article 5) and Supplementary Lot <br /> Area Requirements for Sloping Sites (Article 32, Section 32.2) zoning <br /> standards are sought: <br /> 1. Lot Size for Sloping Lots 1-3: All Project lots meet the R-1 <br /> zoning district lot size requirement of 6,000 sq. ft. However, <br /> Zoning Ordinance Article 32, Section 32.2 requires larger parcel <br /> lot sizes when parcels lots have an average slope that is greater <br /> than 5%. If Zoning Ordinance Article 32, Section 32.2 is <br /> triggered, Lots 1-4 would require larger lot sizes because the <br /> average slope of these parcels is greater than 5 percent if the <br /> creek slope is included in the slope calculation, as illustrated in <br /> Table 1 below. <br /> Table 1: Supplementary Lot Area Requirements for Sloping Sites <br /> Lot Avg. Lot Required Proposed/Gross <br /> Slope Lot Size Lot Size <br /> (Article 32.2) <br /> 1 14% 9,400 8,214 <br /> 2 15% 10,000 7,437 <br /> 3 13% 8,800 7,515 <br /> 4 7% 7,400 7,596 <br /> 5 Less than 5% 6,000 6,334 <br /> 6 Less than 5% 6,000 6,242 <br /> 7 Less than 5% 6,000 6,000 <br /> 8 Less than 5% 6,000 6,000 <br /> 9 Less than 5% 6,000 6,136 <br /> None of the Project lots would trigger Section 32.2 if the creek <br /> slope was excluded from the slope calculation because the <br /> Project site is generally level (less than 5%). The purpose of <br /> the minimum lot area standard for sloping lots is to minimize <br /> grading and retain the contour and natural features for hillside <br /> ATTY/RES0.2784/FINGER RESO APPROVING PD FINAL RESO.#15218 <br /> REV:08-31-12 VR MUFF#613 <br /> Page 5 of 20 <br />
