§ 20-575. Lot requirements and setbacks.  


Latest version.
  • The following minimum requirements shall be observed in an "A-2" District subject to additional requirements, exceptions, and modifications set forth in this chapter:

    (1)

    The minimum lot area is two and one-half acres, subject to section 20-906. A one-unit per ten-acre gross density shall be maintained for proposed lots outside the approved Metropolitan Urban Services Area in effect at the time of a proposed development. This requirement shall not apply to lots of record in existence on January 15, 1987 or lots created thereafter if they were subject to a pending subdivision application on that date and the lots were created as a result of that application. The one-unit per ten-acre density applies to contiguous property under single ownership. Acreage under single ownership, which is not contiguous, cannot be combined for increased density/building eligibility on one of the parcels. Once a building eligibility has been used for a property, a development contract must be recorded with the county establishing the number of building eligibilities remaining or documenting that no building eligibility remains.

    (2)

    The minimum lot frontage is 200 feet, except that the minimum lot frontage of lots fronting on a cul-de-sac shall be at least 200 feet at the building setback line.
