All dimensions are in feet unless otherwise noted

na=not applicable

avg=average per lot

1 MUPYS = Minimum Usable Private Yard Space. Ten (10′) foot minimum dimension required.
2 Lot coverage percentage = multi-story/single story.
3 Side-on garage only on lots greater than 55′. A minimum 30′ between the garage door and the side property line is required to accommodate back-up space.
4 Setbacks measured from property line.
5 Items such as, but not limited to, air conditioning condensers, porches, chimneys, bay windows, media centers, etc. may encroach 2′ into the required setback provided a minimum of 36″ flat and level area is maintained for access around the house.
6 Curbside parking may be counted toward required number of guest spaces. Tandem garages may be used to accommodate required parking stalls if not used towards fulfilling the minimum 2 required parking stalls. The CLDRB may consider and approve the use of tandem garages to meet parking standards if requested by a builder or developer, and approved by the community development director or the city manager's designee.
7 At cul-de-sac bulbs and knuckles where lot depths are less than the standard depth, minimum rear yard setback requirements may be reduced by an amount equal to the standard depth minus the actual depth of the lot (i.e., 100′ - 90′ = 10′). In no case will the rear yard setback be reduced to less than 10′.
8 Minimum frontage allows lots to be placed more efficiently around curves such as cul-de-sac bulbs and knuckles.
9 Two spaces for 2+ bedroom units, 1 space for 1 bedroom or less units.
10 Zero lot line products are permitted if building separation is 10′ minimum.
11 Primary elevations contain more than 2 feature windows per floor. All other elevations are considered secondary walls (no more than 2 individual unit entries may occur on a secondary elevation).
12 If 2nd story living is stacked on top of garage, minimum setback to drive aisle may be a minimum of 3′ so long as there is 30′ clear across the drive aisle to any obstruction.
13 The development standard (large, medium, or small) applicable to a neighborhood is based on the nominal lot size as determined during the architectural design review process per Section 17.62.142 of this code.
