IV. DESIGN INTENT STATEMENTS

LOT

Standards in the “Lot” category are intended to ensure that a site is adequately sized and
dimensioned to accommodate a particular building form, consistent with the intent of the
DROD Area in which it is located. Lot dimension requirements help ensure that a consistent
and compatible horizontal rhythm of buildings is established along a public street and that a
project with multiple units or buildings on one lot does not appear overly dense in relation to
residential properties nearby. Lot requirements are particularly important in areas where single-
family homes are prominent.

Where a site will be subdivided into more than one parcel (a potential situation for Rowhouse,
Cottage Court, Two-Family and 3-Plex/4-Plex/Mansion Apartment), lot design standards should
be based on the collective area of all parcels. Figures 4.1 and 4.2 illustrate a project site that
remains 1 parcel, despite the individual rowhouse units. Figures 4.3 and 4.4 illustrate a project
site that was subdivided into individual parcels based on units. While this project is subdivided,
the lot design standards should still be based on the collective area of all parcels.
