Title
An Ordinance amending the lot coverage requirement in the R-R Zone under certain circumstances.
Background
The allowable lot coverage in the R-R Zone is 25% which is more restrictive than in the R-80 and R-55 Zones where the maximum lot coverage is 30%. The 25% limitation in the R-R Zone can be problematic on smaller-sized lots when homeowners desire to expand their dwelling units. The yard setback regulations for the three zones (R-R, R-80, and R-55) are the same, and this legislation amends the Zoning Ordinance to provide consistency in the lot coverage for these zones by increasing the maximum coverage from 25% to 30% in the R-R Zone if the lots contain 15,000 square feet or less.
