The R-7.5 zoning district establishes a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet (0.172
acre). The minimum lot width established for this district is 50 feet. A minimum house
size (heated floor area per dwelling unit) of 1,200 square feet is established for
new construction; however, the average (mean) house size for the district must be
equal to or greater than 2,000 square feet. Public water service and sanitary sewer
are available and required for new lots platted in this zoning district.
(b)
Generally, R-7.5 districts are within a five-minute walking distance (approximately
one quarter mile radius) of the city's town center (TC zoning district). This district
does not have an established development pattern, and it is applied to undeveloped
areas in the City where higher density, single-family development is encouraged. In
order to provide for a diversity of housing opportunities, while maintaining high-quality
development standards, this district requires multiparcel development or the subdivision
of an existing parcel to provide a variety of lot sizes and house sizes, within the
minimum lot size and average (mean) house size standards specified above. In the R-7.5
zoning district, new development must adhere to principles of traditional neighborhood
development, including pedestrian orientation and street connectivity.
