The following are setback requirements for a principal building located in an "R-5" District and modifications to those requirements when certain conditions exist.
Front yard setback. The required setback in an "R-5" District is measured by calculating twenty percent (20%) of the depth of the lot measured from the front to the rear property line. The calculated setback must be a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the front building facade to the front property line. The front yard setback is not required to exceed a maximum of sixty (60) feet, although these regulations do not preclude a deeper than maximum setback at the discretion of the property owner. Modifications to the required front yard setback are permitted under the following conditions:
If at or below the first (1st) floor level of the principal structure, an open, uncovered porch may project into the required front yard setback a distance of up to ten (10) feet or an open, covered porch or paved terrace may project into a required front yard a distance of up to five (5) feet and associated roof eaves may project up to an additional three (3) feet.
Window sills, bay windows, belt courses and similar architectural features, as well as rain leaders and chimneys, may project up to two (2) feet into the required front yard setback.
Basements and parking facilities which are completely underground may encroach into the front yard setback, but may not transverse the property line.
Rear yard setbacks. The required setback in an "R-5" District is measured by calculating twenty percent (20%) of the depth of the lot measured from the front to the rear property line. The calculated setback must be a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the rear property line to the closest rear wall of the principal structure. The rear yard setback is not required to exceed a maximum of fifty (50) feet, although these regulations do not preclude a deeper than maximum setback at the discretion of the property owner. Modifications to the required rear yard setback are permitted under the following conditions:
Side yard setbacks. The required setback in an "R-5" District is measured by calculating ten percent (10%) of the width of the total lot. The calculated setback must be a minimum of eight (8) feet up to a maximum of twenty (20) feet, although these regulations do not preclude a wider than maximum setback at the discretion of the property owner. Modifications to the required side yard setback are permitted under the following conditions:
[Ord. No. 6509, 11-28-2017]
For the purposes of side yard regulations, a multi-family dwelling shall be considered as one (1) building occupying one (1) lot.
Townhouse dwellings may be constructed on multiple lots (fee simple) or on one (1) lot (condominium) with a party wall connecting the units and, in such cases, each individual lot shall meet the minimum lot width and lot area requirements provided in this Article, but the side yard requirement at the common wall between units shall not apply.
Lots created in conjunction with attached single-family dwelling developments utilizing common walls and occupying more than one (1) platted lot must meet the minimum lot size requirements per Section 405.2360 "Minimum Lot Area", but the side yard requirement at the common wall between units shall not apply.
Where a lot of record at the time of the effective date of this Chapter is less than the minimum required width, the required side yard may be reduced to less than the required ten percent (10%) of the width of the lot, provided, however, that no side yard shall be less than five (5) feet from the structure to the side property line.
On a corner lot, the side yard facing the street shall be set back in conformance with the required front yard on that street; provided, however, that the buildable width of such lot shall not be reduced to less than thirty-five (35) feet.
Windowsills, bay windows, balconies, belt courses and similar architectural features, as well as rain leaders and chimneys, may project up to two (2) feet into the required side setback.
[Ord. No. 5814 §1(18.10), 4-27-2004]
[Ord. No. 5814 §1(18.11), 4-27-2004; Ord. No. 6333 §1, 8-26-2014]
No off-street parking facilities will be allowed within required front and side yard areas except as provided by a conditional use permit. For other applicable regulations regarding off-street parking, see Article XXV, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations, of this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 5814 §1(18.12), 4-27-2004]
No existing lot of record in the "R-5" District shall be resubdivided unless the resubdivided lots conform to the area and frontage requirements of the "R-5" District and, in addition, be consistent with the lots located in the immediate neighborhood with regard to size, frontage and arrangement so as to provide an orderly pattern of development. No flag lot(s) shall be created as a result of any resubdivision.
[Ord. No. 5814 §1(18.13), 4-27-2004]
Any development proposed within the "R-5" Zoning District shall be reviewed for compliance with other plans and/or regulations of the City of Clayton. Compliance with other plans and/or regulations shall include, but not be limited to, the master plan, overlay district regulations, urban design district regulations, any other land use plan or relevant standards and guidelines to the specific site which have been accepted or adopted by the Board of Aldermen.
[Ord. No. 5814 §1(18.14), 4-27-2004; Ord. No. 6010 §3, 1-22-2008; Ord. No. 6067 §2, 4-14-2009; Ord. No. 6191 §3, 2-28-2012]
