[1] Available only in a Conditional-Residential Transition District approved with the provision of compensating public benefits (see Section 3.1.4). [2] Setbacks also apply to residential developments with detached front-loaded garages located to the rear of the principal structure. [3] For infill development, see Section 11.4.2.B, Reduction of Minimum Front Setbacks to Block Face Average. [4] A minimum of 15 feet is required along lot lines shared with lots containing single-family detached residential uses built before 2010. [5] The front setback is measured from the common open space. [6] For single family detached dwellings located in a bungalow court, the front setback is measured from the public street fronting the development or from the lot line adjacent to the shared driveway for the lots not fronting a public street.
