SEC. 16-285. PURPOSE.¶
The purpose of this division is to provide a zoning additive which can be combined with various other zone designations. The additive will create necessary lot area, setbacks, or density controls which are not provided for in the basic underlying zone.
(`64 Code, Sec. 34-111.01) (Ord. No. 1793)
SEC. 16-286. LOT SIZE ADDITIVE; DEFINITIONS.¶
(A) Basic underlying zone - The basic underlying zone is any of the zones specified in section 16-15 of this chapter to which a lot size suffix is added pursuant to this division.
(B) Combined minimum side yard setback - The combined minimum side yard setback is the total footage derived from adding both of the side yard setbacks for a single lot.
(C) Minimum single side yard setback - The minimum side yard setback is the minimum amount of space permitted between the main building and the closest side property line. Regardless of the combined minimum side yard setback imposed pursuant to a suffix, the minimum single side yard setback shall be observed for all side yards.
(`64 Code, Sec. 34-111.04) (Ord. No. 1793)
SEC. 16-287. LOT SIZE ADDITIVE; EFFECT.¶
A lot size additive may be added as a suffix to any of the basic underlying zones to establish a minimum lot area, minimum lot width, and side yard setback. The minimum requirements as set forth in section 16-288 shall apply rather than the lot area, width and setback provisions of the basic underlying zone. All requirements other than the lot area, lot width, and side yard setback shall be as specified in the provisions for the basic underlying zone.
