Reduction of street frontage regulations

• A. Street frontage regulations in any R district may be reduced to not less than 60 feet for those lots entirely fronting on cul-de-sacs at the end of dead-end streets.

• B. Upon approval of the planning commission as part of a conservation development only as provided in the subdivision and land development regulations, the lot frontage and lot width variations listed below may be permitted by the planning commission.

  • 1) In residential RR-200, RR-80, R-40 and R-20 zoning districts, the planning commission is authorized to reduce the lot frontage and lot width of newly created lots on any public or approved private street to a minimum of 40 feet.

  • 2) Open space lots, within an approved conservation development, may have zero frontage on a street, as long as the planning commission approves access to the open space by easement or other means.

  • 3) As part of the application to the planning commission for flexible lot frontage and width, a "conventional yield plan" as defined herein, shall be required. No more buildable lots shall be allowed using flexible lot frontage and width provisions than are allowed by using conventional frontage and width provisions.

  • 4) The planning commission may require the use of shared driveways as a condition of reducing lot frontage and width for proposed new lots in a conservation development or as a way of reducing curb cuts onto public roads. In this instance legal access easements shall be required for those properties sharing driveways.
