- Analysis -

This ordinance makes the zoning classification of single-family, 2-family and multi-family dwellings consistent throughout the C9E (major retail), C9F (office and service) and C9G (mixed activity) central business zoning districts. In these districts, the specified dwelling types are:

1. Permitted uses when not located in the street level area.

2. Special uses when located in the street level area, provided such dwellings face no public right-of-way other than North RiverWalk Way.

3. Prohibited uses when located in the street level area and facing any public right-of-way other than North RiverWalk Way.

This ordinance also modifies the side setback and minimum lot size requirements for the C9A (high density residential) central business zoning district. The minimum side setback is reduced from 5 feet to 3 feet and the minimum total for the 2 side setbacks is reduced from 12 feet to 8 feet. In addition, side setbacks are no longer required for a "townhouse," a term defined in this ordinance. This ordinance further provides that the minimum lot size for lots in this district (currently 7,200 square feet) is eliminated and the minimum lot width is reduced from 60 feet to 24 feet.

This ordinance eliminates all lot requirements for the C9B (residential and specialty use) central business zoning district.
