21.08.390 Zero Lot Line Development.
A. Purpose. The purpose of zero lot line development is to:
1. Provide more usable private open space;
2. Promote the efficient use of land;
3. Protect critical areas; and
4. Provide greater flexibility in site development standards while at the same time assuring that the single-family character of the development is maintained.
B. Requirements. All zero lot line developments shall comply with the standards and requirements of site requirements set in the zone use chart for the underlying residential zone, as well as other related policies and regulations of the Zoning Code. In the event that any of the zero lot line requirements described below conflict with other standards of the Zoning Code, the requirements for zero lot line development shall apply.
1. Building Setbacks.
a. One building side/interior setback may also be reduced so long as the opposite side/interior or side street setback on the lot is increased by an amount corresponding to the original side setback reduction.
b. These side/interior setback reductions shall not apply to side setbacks adjacent to lots that are not part of the zero lot line development.
c. Accessory buildings and structures shall conform to the setbacks set or required for the primary dwelling unit.
2. Maintenance and Drainage Easements. A perpetual easement related to maintenance, eaves, and drainage of at least five feet shall be provided on the lot adjacent to the zero lot line property line which, with the exception of wall and/or fences, shall be kept clear of structures. This easement shall be shown on the face of the plat map and incorporated into each deed transferring title on the property. The building wall along the zero lot line shall be maintained in its original color and treatment unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the two affected lot owners.
3. Platting Requirements. The final plat or short plat shall show the approximate location of buildings proposed to be placed within the required setbacks.
