(e) In addition to the Maximum Dwellings Per Lot allowed by Table 9.3625, one additional dwelling may be established on a lot that is between 9,000 square feet and 12,499 square feet, and up to two additional dwellings may be established on a lot that is 13,500 square feet or larger, so long as: 1. No residential building on the lot has more than two dwellings; 2. No dwelling on the lot has more than three bedrooms; and 3. No dwelling added to the lot after [date of adoption] or that is on a lot that has more than the number of dwellings allowed on the lot by Table 9.3625 has more than 800 square feet of living area or any point (other than chimney) higher than 18 feet. (f) Multi-lot developments. A multi-lot development site is treated as one area for calculating allowable dwellings. (I.e., allowable dwellings are not the sum of individual lots’ allowable dwellings). A multi-lot development site cannot include an alley access only lot or a lot less than 4,500 square feet. (2) Building Height. (See Figure 9.3626(2)(3)(4)). (a) Residential buildings. 1. On a street-fronting lot that is not an alley access only lot, the maximum height of any part of a residential building within 60 feet of the lot line abutting the street is: a. For any section of a roof that has at least a 6:12 pitch (i.e. a slope of 6 inches vertically for every 12 inches horizontally) for the entire roof section: 30 feet. b. Otherwise: 18 feet. c. For a lot that meets the definition of “Street-fronting lot” with respect to more than one street, the 60 foot distance shall be measured from the shortest lot line that meets the requirements under the definition of “Street-fronting lot.” 2. The maximum height of any part of a residential building not covered under subsection 1., above, is 18 feet. 3. Chimneys on residential buildings may exceed the maximum height limits by no more than 5 feet. (See Figure 9.3626(2)(a)). (b) The maximum height of any part of a garage or building that is not a-residential building is 15 feet. (c) The height of any part of a structure shall be measured as its vertical distance above grade. (3) Alley and Street Setbacks. (See Figure 9.3626(2)(3)(4)). (a) Alley minimum setback. Except as provided under subsection (a)1., below, all buildings shall be set back a minimum of the distance specified in subsections 1. and 2., below, from any portion of a lot line that abuts an alley and from any alley right-of- way easement, whichever would result in a greater setback distance.
