1. On corners, the minimum street side setback shall be ten (10) feet from the side property line abutting an east-west street. Setback for infill buildings shall be determined by the orientation of the building (see section 14). 2. Uninhabited, detached accessory buildings such as garages or sheds shall have a minimum five (5) foot setback requirement on interior side lot lines. C. Rear Setback Requirements: 1. In the R-4H zone, the rear setback shall be a minimum of five (5) feet for up to seventy five (75) percent of the lot width. The minimum setback for the remainder of the lot width shall be fifteen(15) feet. 2. In the R-3H zone the minimum setback shall be twenty (20) feet except for rear yard infill dwellings (see Section 14 of this Ordinance). 3. In the R-1H and R-2H zones, the minimum setback shall be twenty(20) feet. 4. In order to maintain open rear yards in all zones, there shall be no minimum rear setback requirement for detached accessory buildings such as garages and sheds. Section 9: Building Height and Calculation. A. Allowable Height: 1. In the R-3H zone, the maximum permitted eave height shall be twenty-four (24) feet, measured to the bottom of the eaves. The maximum permitted building height shall be thirty-five (35) feet. This will generally mean a maximum of three (3) stories above the sidewalk on north/south streets. 2. In the R-4H zone, the maximum permitted eave height shall be twenty-four (24) feet, measured to the bottom of the eaves. Roof slope shall conform to the standards of Section 10 of this Ordinance. The maximum height in the R-4H zone shall be forty (40) feet. This generally means a maximum of four (4) stories above the sidewalk on the north/south streets. Underbuilding parking is encouraged. 3. In the R-3H and R-4H zones, the height limitation can be changed by to ten (10) percent pursuant to Section 2B of this Ordinance. 4. In the R-1H and R-2H zones, maximum building height shall be twenty eight (28) feet. B. Height Calculation. Building height shall be measured from the highest point of the sidewalk at the entrance of the building. Generally the entrance will be on Norton, Grand or Rucker Avenues, the north/south streets. On sloping sites, such as some parts of Rucker and Grand Avenues, the height calculation will follow the land contour. That is if the property slopes away from the Avenue, the height shall be determined from the highest point of the sidewalk at the entrance to the building. If the property slopes up from the Avenue, the height may be determined from the base elevation of the building footprint. Section 10: Building Modulation. A. Buildings on lots over fifty(50) feet wide shall have modulated facades facing Norton Rucker or Grand Avenue. Building fronts, when measured parallel to the street edge, shall be a maximum width of thirty(30) feet before stepping back ten(10) feet for a minimum of ten(10) feet. B. Buildings over fifty (50) feet wide will have enhanced modulation to reduce the apparent size of the building and provide a sense of individual residences in multiple family structures. This can 33
