RULE 1: NO SETBACKS
RULE 2: FRONT PORCHES
RULE 3: BUILDING VOLUME
In order to optimize the density of the lot, structures may be built up to the front, side, and rear lot lines. Structures may rise to a height of 30’
Although structures may be placed on the front lot line, to preserve the residential scale of the neighborhood, a space equal to 1/8th of the total lot area must remain open. This area must touch the front lot line, but may take any shape.
In order to ensure access to light and air throughout the neighborhood, structures may cover up to 1/2 of total lot area.
PROJECTED URBANITY
Additionally, allowable building volume decreases every 10 feet in height with: 0’-10’ occupying up to 1/2 total lot coverage 10’-20’ occupying up to 1/3 total lot coverage
20’-30’ = 1/6 lot coverage
20’-30’ occupying up to 1/6 total lot coverage.
10’-20’ = 1/3 lot coverage
0’-10’ = 1/2 lot coverage
