Land designated as Low Medium Density Residential is intended for residential
development that ranges from 4 to 8 dwellings per gross acre. The following
regulations apply:
o Uses permitted:
(a) Single family detached dwellings including, but not limited to, patio
homes, zero lot line homes, and mobile homes.
(b) Single fam41y attached dwellings including, but not limited to,
duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes.

Figures V-1 through V-4.
(c) Garage and carport setbacks: As indicated in Table V-2 and Figure
V-5.
(d) Other accessory building setbacks: From major arterial highways,
secondary arterials, and collector roads, setbacks are the same as
those for main buildings. From local streets, adjoining residential
lots and other conditions, setbacks are the same as those for main
buildings except that an accessory building may encroach into any
required side or rear setback to a distance of 3 feet minimum from the
property line, provided the accessory building does not occupy more
than 50 percent of the required rear yard.
(e) Building site width: 50 feet minimum, provided that the building site
width on cul-de-sacs and knuckles shall be 20 feet minimum.
(f) Building site coverage: 60% maximum.

Page 4
(b) Front, side, and rear setbacks: As indicated in Table V-3.
(c) Setbacks for uncovered parking are as follows: 30 feet average, 19
feet minimum from face of curb of major arterial highway; parking
areas less than 30 feet from curb must be screened by betins,
landscaping, and/or structural elements 30 inches minimum in height.
17 feet minimum from face of curb of secondary arterial or collector
road. 10 feet minimum from face of curb of local public street,
subject to easements. From other conditions, no minimum.
(d) Building site width and depth: As permitted by required setbacks.
(e) Building site coverage: 60% maximum.
(f) Building height: 35 feet maximum.
(g) Private open space: 300 sq. ft. minimum.
The above site development standards apply to the building site, which is the
cluster development as a whole or a designated portion of it. They govern the
relationship of the cluster development to adjoining property and to adjoining
streets and open spaces. Within the cluster development, the relationship of
buildings to one another, to property lines, and to other features, such as
open spaces and private streets, is governed by the provisions of the Uniform
Building Code. The above trail setbacks, however, are applicable within the
development if a master-planned trail occurs interior to the site.
o Site development standards for innovative development:
(a) Building site area: 3,500 sq. ft. minimum, 4,000 sq. ft. average.

The above development standards apply to projects which are deemed innovative.
Innovation in single family development means providing creative design
solutions which address the critical concerns of neighborhood compatibility,
density transition, and design quality. Innovative projects are characterized
by an attractive streetscape which is not monotonous, nor is the street scene
dominated by asphalt/concrete, garages, and cars. Innovative design means
finding creative ways to create well-designed space, particularly usable yard
space. A discussion of innovation and variety is contained in the REsidential
Design Guidelines section.
