[1] Available only in a Conditional-Main Street District approved with the provision of compensating public benefits (see Section
3.1.4).[2] 30 feet along lot lines shared with lots containing existing residential uses or within a residential zoning district.
[3] Setbacks also apply to single-family detached dwelling developments with detached front-loaded garages located to the rear of the
principal structure.
[4] The Minimum Build-to Zone Street Frontage Occupied by Buildings standard shall apply buildings adjacent to a “main street”. If the
building is not adjacent to a “main street”, the standard applies to the frontage of the street with the highest vehicular accessway
classification for a particular site (see Section 5.8.6.C, Vehicular Accessway Classifications). In instances where more than one street has the
highest classification, the applicant has to meet the standard along only one of these streets, and can choose which of these streets to use in
meeting the standard.
[5] Both feet and story maximums apply.
