§ 8175-2. Schedule of specific development standards by zone.

The following table indicates the lot area, lot width, setback, height, and building coverage standards that apply to individual lots in the zones specified. See Articles 6 and 7 for other general standards and exceptions.

				Front	Side		Rear	Principal Structure	Exceptions (Principal Structure)	Accessory Structure
					Interior and Corner Lots, Except Reverse Corner	Reverse Corner Lots: Street Side
COS	10 Acres (c)	See Section 8175-2.1	40'	20'	10'	20'	15'	25'	Height may be increased to 35' if each side setback is at least 15'	Same as Principal Structure
CA	40 Acres (c)
CR	1 Acre				5'	10'				15'
CRE	20,000 sq. ft.
CR1	7000 sq. ft.			20' (d)

(a)

See Sections 8175-4.10—8175-4.12 for exceptions.

(b)

See Sections 8175-4 and 8175-5 for exceptions.

(c)

For all proposed land divisions in the COS and CA zones, the parent parcel shall be subject to the following slope/density formula for determining minimum lot area.

S = (100)(I)(L)
A

Where:

S = average slope (%)

I = contour interval (feet)

L = total length of all contour lines (feet)

A = total area of the lot (square feet)

Once the average slope has been computed, the following table shall be used to determine a minimum lot size for all proposed lots (numbers should be rounded to the nearest tenth):

COS:	CA:
0%—15% = 10 acres	0%—35% = 40 acres
15.1%—20% = 20 acres	Over 35% = 100 acres
20.1%—25% = 30 acres
25.1%—35% = 40 acres
Over 35% = 100 acres

 

Exception (CA): Property with a land use designation of "Agriculture" in the Coastal Area Plan that is not prime agricultural land shall have a lot area not less than two hundred (200) acres, regardless of slope.

(d)

Dwellings constructed with carports or garages having a curved or "swing" driveway, with the entrances to the garages or carports facing the side property line, may have a minimum front setback distance of fifteen (15) feet.

(e)

Minimum one thousand five hundred (1,500) sq. ft. of lot area per dwelling unit; maximum two (2) dwelling units per lot.

(f)

If the front setback distance is twenty (20) feet or more, the rear setback distance may be reduced to six (6) feet.

(g)

One thousand seven hundred fifty (1,750) sq. ft. per single-family dwelling; three thousand (3,000) sq. ft. per two (2) family dwelling.

(h)

Where there is a two (2) or three (3) storied structure, such second or third stories may intrude not more than four (4) feet into the required front setback. Eaves may extend a maximum of two (2) feet beyond the outside walls of such second or third floor extension.

(i)

See also Section 8175-3.13.

(j)

Five (5) feet for lots used for dwelling purposes, and five (5) feet on any side abutting a residential zone (any zone with an "R" in the title); otherwise, as specified by permit.

(k)

Ten (10) feet if the lot abuts a residential zone on the side; otherwise, as specified by permit.

(l)

Five (5) feet on any side abutting a residential zone. Also, when the rear of a corner lot abuts a residential zone, the side setback distance from the street shall be at least five (5) feet; otherwise, as specified by permit.

(m)

Ten feet if the rear of the lot abuts a residential zone; otherwise, as specified by permit.

(n)

From street: the greater of fifteen (15) feet or fifteen (15) percent of lot width or depth. Interior: the greater of five (5) feet or ten (10) percent of lot width or depth. The Planning Director is authorized to modify or entirely waive the interior setback requirements in cases where such reductions are necessary for efficient utilization of property and will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare, and rail access is provided to the lot.

(o)

No building or structure located within one hundred (100) feet of any property in a residential zone shall exceed sixty (60) feet in height; otherwise, as specified by permit.

(p)

A lower height limit may be required by the permit authorizing the use.

(q)

Exception: Each dwelling unit of a two (2) family dwelling may have a zero (0) side setback distance if constructed on a lot (other than a through lot) of at least three thousand five hundred (3,500) square feet in area created prior to February 26, 1987, If that lot is subdivided along a common side wall of the two (2) dwelling units.

(r)

Exception: Each dwelling unit of a two (2) family dwelling may have a zero (0) rear setback distance if constructed on a through lot of at least four thousand (4,0000 square feet in area created prior to February 26, 1987, if that lot is subdivided along a common rear wall of the two (2) dwelling units, and the front setback distance of each resulting lot is at least twenty (20) feet.
