B. Lot Size Averaging:
1. Lot size averaging is an alternative to traditional minimum lot size standards and encourages a mix of lot sizes within a subdivision. The overall density of the zoning district remains approximately the same, but flexibility is provided in the mixing of lot sizes.
2. Standards:
a. Lot size averaging is a permitted use within the RE-20 and RE-37.5 zones.
(1) Project density shall not exceed the following:
Maximum Dwelling Units per Acre | |
|---|---|
RE-20 | 2.0 du/acre |
RE-37.5 | 1.2 du/acre |
b. No lot size shall be reduced to less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the required lot size for the applicable zoning district.
c. No lot frontage (width) shall be reduced to less than eighty percent (80%) of the required lot frontage for the applicable zoning district.
d. Lot size averaging shall apply to new subdivisions, not to existing recorded plats, and not to amendments to recorded plats.
e. Open space dedications and/or trail easements shall be included in the subdivision density calculations for the purpose of complying with subsection B2a of this section.
f. Not more than one-half (½) of the proposed lots within the subdivision may be less than the zone’s standard lot size. (Ord. 2019-10-002, 10-10-2019)
