Lot Area:
This standard seeks to establish a minimum lot size that is compatible with properties in
a given DROD Area. Minimum lot sizes are provided for each building type. This standard
is intended to reflect traditional lot sizes and widths in each individual Area and seeks to
provide adequate site area to accommodate particular building types.
Lot Area applies to: Single-Family, Two-Family, 3-Plex/4-plex/Mansion Apartment, Cottage
Court, Rowhouse, Flats, Mixed-Use A

Lot Frontage:
This design standard establishes a minimum linear width for an individual lot that is parallel
to the street. It is intended to accommodate the permitted building type(s) in that Area
and establish a consistent horizontal rhythm of buildings along a block and within a specific
Area.
Lot Frontage applies to: Single-Family, Two-Family, 3-Plex/4-plex/Mansion Apartment,
Cottage Court, Rowhouse, Flats, Mixed-Use A

Lot Depth:
This design standard establishes a minimum linear distance from the front lot line to rear
lot line in order to accommodate the Cottage Court building form, which allows multiple
detached structures on a single lot. This design standard aims to ensure adequate depth
to accommodate two or more structures between the front and rear lot lines, and to
accommodate the common courtyard space of a Cottage Court building form, as well as
parking for each unit and driveway access.
Lot Depth applies to: Cottage Court

Lot Coverage:
This design standard is intended to limit the ratio of built areas to landscaped areas on
a lot by designating a maximum percentage of lot that can be covered by structures or
impervious surfaces, such as surface parking and driveways. Lot coverage ensures that
a minimum amount of undeveloped or open space is retained on a parcel to encourage
retaining yard area proportions consistent with other properties in an Area, and particularly
those of a residential character.
Lot Coverage applies to: Single-Family, Two-Family, 3-Plex/4-plex/Mansion Apartment,
Cottage Court, Rowhouse, Flats, Mixed-Use A
