Article 30-3:Zoning Districts Section D:Residential Base Zoning Districts Subsection 6:Single-Family Residential 6(SF-6)District 6. SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 6 (SF-6) DISTRICT • 0 The Single-Family Residential 6(SF-6)District is established and intended to accommodate principally single-family detached residential development at moderate densities,that is designed to respond to environmental and site conditions. It also accommodates two-to four-family dwellings and zero lot line development subject to the requirements of this Ordinance. All uses in the district are subject to • the design standards in Article 30-5:Development Standards.District regulations discourage any use 9 • that substantially interferes with the development of single-family dwellings and that is detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the distrcL Also allowed are complementary uses usually found in residential zoning districts,such as parks,open space,minor utilities,accessory dwellings,schools,and places of worship. • • • • - ' Lot area per unit,min.(sq ft) 6,000 5,000 6,000 n/a Lot width,min.(ft) 60 ^/a Gross residential density,max 9.6; 10.9 for zero lot line development n/a (dwelling unitslacre)[L] Lot coverage,max 40 [1] (%of lot area) 25; 15 where abutting a Height,max(ft) 35 single-family zoning district or use Front and corner side setback Not allowed in front.

Setbacks for lots abutting the perimeter of the development shall meet the district minimums;otherwise no setbacks,lot area,lot coverage,or building spacing requirements shall apply. Open Space Set-Aside(%of Residential uses: :Nonresidential and mixed-uses:[to be determined in Module 3] parcel size) 50 The SF-6 district carries forward many of the R6 district provisions with a few exceptions.The current provisions do not include any density requirements,but one is added(9.6 W/acre),and is subject to the density rounding standards discussed in earlier footnotes. The current standards allow detached dwellings,zero lot line,and condominium developments to use a sliding scale for minimum lot size where lot size may be reduced to as small as 4,000 square feet per unit as the number of units increase. We have revised this approach by holding lot size constant for detached dwellings,allowing attached residential and two-to four-family dwellings on 5.000 square foot lots. In terms of zero lot line development each development is required to have 40,000 square feet in development size,and the lot area requirements are removed in favor of density limitations. Lot coverage limitations are increased from 35%to 40%to facilitate infill(subject to new design standards). Finally,the district now includes a 10 percent density bonus for new development occurring within designated"incentive areas".
