Notes for the above tables:
| ||
[Note A]
|
=
|
The minimum lot width is measured at the part of the lot where
the minimum building front yard setback applies. If a building is
placed further back from the street, it will not change where the
lot width is measured.
|
[Note B]
|
=
|
If an existing rear or side alley is available or could be feasibly
extended, it shall be used for access to parking spaces for the lot
instead of a front yard driveway, unless the Borough determines that
another access is more appropriate as part of a subdivision or land
development approval. If two or more side-by-side off-street parking
spaces are located in the front yard of a townhouse or if garage door(s)
for two or more vehicles face onto the street in the front of the
townhouse, then the minimum building width per dwelling along such
street shall be a minimum of 24 feet. A maximum of 60% of the land
area between the front of each townhouse or semi-detached dwelling
and the street right-of-way line shall be used for vehicle parking
and driveways, unless a shared parking court is approved with a twenty-foot
paving setback from the dwellings.
|
[Note C]
|
=
|
The average density provisions are intended to allow flexibility
in the placement of individual dwelling units, regardless of whether
the homes are condominium or fee-simple, and regardless of whether
public streets, private streets or parking courts are used. No minimum
lot area applies for each individual dwelling unit, provided that
the overall density requirements are met. Each single family, semi-detached
or townhouse dwelling shall still be able to meet the minimum front
yard, side yard, rear yard and lot width as if each dwelling was on
its own fee simple lot.
|
The minimum average lot area per dwelling unit establishes the
maximum number of units permitted on a tract of land. The total lot
area of the tract prior to development is used. The area occupied
by existing street right-of-way of existing streets and alleys is
then deleted. The following areas are not required to be deleted from
the lot area to determine density: right-of-way of proposed streets
and alleys and areas of parking courts, common open space and stormwater
detention basins. The resulting lot area is then divided by the average
lot area per dwelling unit to result in the maximum number of dwelling
units allowed on the tract.
| ||
[Note D]
|
=
|
Setbacks shall be measured from the legal street right-of-way,
after any subdivision or land development has been completed. An unenclosed
front porch or deck may encroach up to 10 feet into the minimum front
yard. This porch or deck may be covered by a roof or awning. Steps,
stoops and ramps for persons with disabilities may also encroach into
any setback as necessary to provide access, which may be beyond 10
feet.
|
[Note E]
|
=
|
For townhouses and semi-detached dwellings, the maximum building
and impervious coverage requirements may be met as an average across
a tract after development, as opposed to regulating each individual
lot.
|
[Note F]
|
=
|
The following exceptions shall apply:
|
For accessory structures and uses, see § 230-22 below.
| ||
Structures shall not obstruct minimum sight clearance at intersections, as provided in § 230-64C.
| ||
See § 230-66C(2)(d) regarding extension of nonconforming setbacks.
| ||
See § 230-23C below regarding permitted reductions in setbacks to reflect average setbacks of adjacent buildings.
| ||
[Note G]
|
=
|
Abutting lots in common ownership may be calculated together
to show compliance with the maximum coverages.
|
[Note H]
|
=
|
Except 0 feet at the shared lot line of lawfully attached dwellings,
such as along the lot line of semi-detached dwellings or townhouses,
or where a new attached building is constructed that replaces a previous
building that was attached to the same adjacent building, or where
the Borough approves adjacent business buildings to be constructed
on a lot line as part of a subdivision or land development.
|
[Note I]
|
=
|
Except 20 feet side and 25 feet rear for a principal business
from a lot in a residential district that is occupied by a principal
dwelling that is not in common ownership. Such side or rear yard shall
be increased to 60 feet from such a lot for any building area or land
area used for manufacturing, bulk storage of highly hazardous substances,
industrial outdoor processing or a tractor-trailer truck loading dock.
|
[Note J]
|
=
|
A minimum three-foot building setback is required from an approximately
parallel door or window of a building on another lot, unless a larger
setback is required under the Construction Code.
|
[Note K]
|
=
|
Individual lots may be approved with smaller condominium parcels
as part of a unified subdivision or land development plan, provided
the average density is met.
