Staff recommends approval of the ordinance permitting decks in the street side yard setback of RU-1Z corner lots provided for a minimum setback of four (4) feet and to permit the such lots to have up to 60% of the required yards to be impervious.

At the June 5, 2018, Town Council meeting, an item was introduced during the Manager's Report which addressed the possibility of permitting corner lots zoned RU-1Z, Single Family Zero Lot Line, to have decking located within the required street side yard setback. The attached report and ordinance is reflective of that direction.

The following is a brief description of the proposed changes.

Require minimum street side setback of four (4) feet for RU-1Z corner lots. A minimum setback of four (4) feet is required. This standard would be consistent with the easement restriction imposed on interior lots with RU-1Z zoning and provides for some pervious area to capture runoff.

Maximum impervious for all yards total. The proposed ordinance adjusts the maximum total impervious area for all yards total for RU-1Z corner lots from 50% to 60%.
