Residential Site Design Traditional Neighborhood site design pattern. Traditional neighborhood residential lots exhibit a distinct pattern of placement of principal and accessory structures, their relationship to streets and alleys, and provision for open areas. To reflect these characteristics, residential lot and building design requirements are described in terms of the following four basic components of a lot or building site: the public realm area, the principal structure area, the private yard area, and the accessory use/structure area. New and infill context development in the TNFD shall maintain this pattern. (Exception: Lots under 6,000 square feet may follow the standards in 8.c.iv below.) Residential Site Alternative. Residential designs that do not adhere to Table 5.3.1 standards are permitted in the TNFD in accordance with Standard 14 below and the Alternative Development Incentives regulations (Chapter 4 Part 5). J a. Public Realm Area Note. Public Realm is defined as the area of the lot between the public right-of-way and the front of the principal structure or to the required principal structure setback/build-to line if there is no principal structure on the lot. i. Encroachments/accessory structures. Encroachments and accessory structures are not permitted in the Public Realm except: (a.) Fences and walls that are no more than 42 inches in height may be located within the required front and street side yards and fences must be either painted or stained . Pickets must be vertical and spaced no less than 4 inches apart. (b.) Steps, stoops and open, unenclosed porches may encroach up to 100% of the distance of the principal structure setback from the right-of-way, provided that the encroachment occupies no more than 33% of the public realm and does not conflict with utility easements. (c.) Awnings may extend 48 inches into the public realm. (d.) Porches and awnings must be constructed as extensions of the principal structure and shall not be freestanding. (e.) Parking is permitted only in driveways that lead to a garage or rear yard parking area. (f.) Public utility easements. 19 NOTE: Principal Structure Area is defined as the area of the lot located between the Public Realm Area and the Private Yard Area and is occupied by one or more principal structures. LDC ii Traditional Neighborhood Form District Chapter 5 Part 3 Access. An improved means of pedestrian access to the principal structure shall be provided between the right-of- way/sidewalk and the principal structure entrance that is facing the street. b. Principal Structure Area i. Orientation. The entrance of the principal structure(s) shall be oriented to the primary street. ii. Parking. Off-street parking is prohibited in the principal structure area unless there is no alley access and the primary ingress and egress to the parking is from the public realm area. In this case, parking is allowed in a driveway, garage or in a driveway leading to a garage or rear yard only. c. Private Yard Area i. Permitted Structures. Sheds may not exceed 80 square feet. Unroofed pools, atriums, gardens, garden courts, walks, patios, and other similar uses are acceptable. No other uses may be located within this area, including off-street parking. ii. Dimensions. The linear length of the Private Yard Area shall be at least 30% of the linear length of the lot. (The linear length of the lot is the length from the front property line to the rear property line along the side yard property lines. If the length as measured on the two side property lines differ, then the average of the two shall be used.) Exception: Lots under 6,000 square feet. See iv. below. rzo' NOTE: Private Yard Area Is defined as the area of the lot located between the Principal Structure Area and the Accessory Structure Area. It must be unenclosed and open to the sky except for permitted fences, roofed, unscreened porches or decks, and small sheds. 20 LDC Traditional Neighborhood Form District Chapter 5 Part 3 Sample site design for lots less than 6,000 square feet. iii. Multi-family development. Refer to 8.e., below, for standards applicable to multi-family development that does not maintain the four areas of traditional neighborhood site design pattern. iv. Lots under 6,000 square feet. In developments of more than 10 dwelling units all new lots under 6,000 square square feet are exempt from the private yard requirement for 30% of the linear length of the lot. Instead, the private yard must consist of least 20% of the lot area and an area equivalent to the balance ( 10%) is required to be put into contiguous public open space in the development to be designed according to Chapter 10 Part 5 (Open Space Standards). Accessory structures may encroach into the Private Yard Area as long as 20% total Private Yard is maintained. 21 LDC NOTE: Accessory Structure Area is defined as the area that lies between the Private Yard and the alley or rear property boundary. Most commonly used for off-street parking, accessory structures such as carriage houses and garages, and as access to the property from the alley or secondary street.

All other amendments to the TNZD Plan shall be initiated by the Planning Commission or the legislative body with zoning authority. Applications shall be accompanied by such written and graphic information as is necessary for the Planning Commission to determine whether the proposed amendment conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, the traditional pattern, the urban residential character of the area, the intent of the TNZD Plan, and the requirements of this Chapter. a. Amendments to the TNZD Plan Map to change land use to a "permitted where mapped" use. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) below with respect to original uses, proposed amendments to the TNZD Plan Map to change the land use of a particular property from a permitted use to a permitted where mapped use in the applicable TNZD component shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. The Planning Commission shall hold at least one public hearing after notice is given to first tier adjoining property owners at least thirty (30) days in advance of the hearing by first class mail. After the public hearing, the Planning Commission may approve the proposed TNZD Plan Map amendment if it finds that the proposed land use change conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, the traditional pattern, the urban residential character of the area as described in the TNZD Plan. (a) The owner of the subject property or any aggrieved person may appeal the decision of the Planning Commission to the legislative body with zoning authority by filing an appeal with the legislative body no later than ten (10) calendar days after the date of the action of the Planning Commission. Actions of the Planning Commission under this paragraph that have not been appealed to the legislative body within ten calendar (10) days shall not be subject to further review or appeal. (b) Notice of the appeal shall be provided to the applicant, the appellant, and all first tier property owners at least seven (7) days prior to the meeting at which the legislative body will consider the appeal. The legislative body shall take one of the following actions: 31 TNZD Development Code Section 7 .10 Land Development Code Section 2. 7 .4 i. The legislative body may review the record made before the Planning Commission and may affirm the Planning Commission's decision without a hearing; ii. The legislative body may review the record made before the Commission and overturn the Planning Commission's decision based on findings of fact supported by the record which differ from the findings of fact of the Commission; or iii. The legislative body may also hold its own public hearing after notice as set forth in this section, and may make as a result thereof findings which may differ from those found by the Commission. (2) Original Use Exception. The Planning Director or designee may amend the TNZD Plan Map with respect to a particular property to permit the original use of the primary structure thereon without a public hearing only if the original use is a permitted or permitted where mapped use in the applicable TNZD component, and if the applicant demonstrates that (1) the primary structure was existing on the property on November 22, 1926; and (2) said primary structure was used on or before November 22, 1926 for the specific purpose for which the applicant seeks to use the structure. The decision of the Planning Director or designee may be appealed to the Board of Zoning Adjustment in accordance with KRS Chapter 100. b. All other TNZD Plan Amendments. All amendments to the TNZD Plan other than those described in paragraph a. above shall be initiated by the Planning Commission or the legislative body, and shall be processed in the following manner: (1) A public hearing shall be held by the Planning Commission after notice of the hearing is given pursuant to KRS Chapter 424. (2) After the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation on the proposed amendment to the legislative body with zoning authority. (3) Final action on amendments to the TNZD Plan shall then be taken by the legislative body with zoning authority. No amendment to the TNZD Plan shall become effective until approved by the legislative body with zoning authority. Failure of the legislative body to act on the proposed amendment shall not result in a deemed approval of the proposed amendment.
