198 DRAFT BE IT ORDAINED that the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance is hereby amended as follows: Purpose: To clarify the minimum lot size for single-family development in the High Density Residential zoning district and to reduce the required side setbacks. Back,round: The minimum lot size for single family development is 6,0000 square feet. The ordinance is somewhat confusing, however, because the minimum size for additional units in multi-family development is reduced. The side setbacks for all developments are 5 feet minimum and 20 feet total. On a standard HDR single-family lot that meets the average lot width of 50 feet, the building area would only be 30 feet wide. The current setbacks would be appropriate for multi-family development, but are too restrictive for single-family. The staff proposes that they be changed to match the required single-family side setbacks in the equivalent Concord zoning districts (R-2.5, R-3, R-4). This would not increase density but would allow a larger home to be built. Proposed Chan~e: Change Section 5-12, Part III 'Development Standards by Zoning District" such that language is added to the minimum lot size to specify single-family lots of 6,000 square feet. In addition, a line would be added to the setback standards under principal and accessory uses to reduce the side setbacks for single- family to 6 feet on each side. Adopted this the 18th day of November, 1996 by the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners. /s/ Jeffrey L. Barnhart, Chairman Board of Commissioners ATTEST: /s/ Frankie F. Bonds Frankie F.
