Purpose. This Section contains the regulation for the "R-1" Residential District (hereinafter "R-1" District). The purpose of the "R-1" District is to allow for large-lot residential settings (i.e., open space, wooded lots, scenic views, and privacy), as large-lot residential development patterns minimize the impact of development on "environmentally sensitive" land in Fenton. The "R-1" District's environmentally sensitive areas are characterized by steep slopes (> 7%), critical drainage courses or watersheds, heavy woods, and shallow soils. These regulations are supplemented and qualified by additional regulations appearing elsewhere in this Title.
Side Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum fifteen (15) foot side setback; except, whenever a lot of record existing on the date of this Title has a width of seventy-five (75) feet or less, the side setback may be reduced to a width of not less than ten percent (10%) of the width of the lot, but in no instance shall it be less than five (5) feet.
Rear Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum fifty (50) foot rear setback.
Lot Area.
Permitted Uses must be located on a lot containing at least one (1) acre or forty-three thousand five hundred sixty (43,560) square feet, with a minimum lot width of one hundred (100) feet at the required building line.

Flag Lots. Flag lots are prohibited, provided flag lots in existence before November 20, 2017, are permitted but shall not be further subdivided.

Editor's Note: Former Chapter 465, Residential Zone Districts, containing Sections 465.010 through 465.060, was repealed 1-24-2019 by Ord. No. 3891.
Purpose. This Section contains the regulation for the "R-2" Residential District (hereinafter "R-2" District). The purpose of the "R-2" District is to provide residential subdivisions with smaller lots than the "R-1" District, but more spacious than those provided in the "R-3" District. These regulations are supplemented and qualified by additional regulations appearing elsewhere in this Title.
Front Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum (50) foot front setback, unless forty percent (40%) or more of the frontage on one (1) side of the street between two (2) intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed a front projection beyond the average front setback so established but this regulation shall not be interpreted to require a front setback of more than one hundred (100) feet.
Side Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum ten (10) foot side setback; except, whenever a lot of record existing on the date of this Title has a width of seventy-five (75) feet or less, the side setback may be reduced to a width of not less than ten percent (10%) of the width of the lot, but in no instance shall it be less than four (4) feet.
Rear Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum rear setback of thirty-five (35) feet or twenty percent (20%) of the lot depth, whichever amount is greater, but it need not exceed fifty (50) feet.

These regulations are supplemented and qualified by additional regulations appearing elsewhere in this Title.
Front Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum front setback of (30) feet, unless forty percent (40%) or more of the frontage on one (1) side of the street between two (2) intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed a front setback with a variation in depth of not more than ten (10) feet, in which case no building shall project beyond the average front setback line so established, but this regulation shall not be interpreted to require a front setback of more than fifty (50) feet.
Side Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum eight (8) foot side setback; except, wherever a lot of record exists on the date of this Chapter having a width of fifty (50) feet or less, the side setback on each side of a building may be reduced to a width of not less than ten percent (10%) of the width of the lot, but in no instance shall it be less than four (4) feet.

Purpose. This Section contains the regulations for the "R-4" Residential District (hereinafter "R-4" District). The purpose of the "R-4" District is to accommodate Riverside subdivision, the City's first (1st) subdivision. Originally built for Chrysler employees, Riverside was developed with single-family dwellings on eight thousand (8,000) square-foot lots. Just north of the subdivision, along Wolfner Drive, two-family dwellings were developed to create a buffer between the industrial uses north of Wolfner Drive and the single-family dwellings located in Riverside. Lots and residential uses of this size form a necessary component in the City's land use strategy as a separation of dissimilar uses. These regulations are supplemented and qualified by additional regulations appearing elsewhere in this Title.
Front Setback. Each lot shall have a minimum thirty (30) foot front setback, unless forty percent (40%) or more of the frontage on one (1) side of the street between two (2) intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed a front setback with a variance in depth of not more than ten (10) feet, in which case no building shall project beyond the average front setback so established, but this regulation shall not be interpreted to require a front setback of more than fifty (50) feet.
Side Setback.
Each lot shall have a minimum six (6) foot side setback; except wherever a lot of record existing on the date of this Title has a width of fifty (50) feet or less, the side setback may be reduced to a width of not less than ten percent (10%) of the width of the lot, but in no instance shall it be less than four (4) feet.
