Planning Commission <br />Staff Report <br />January 26, 2012 <br />ANALYSIS <br />The key areas of concern related to evaluating this proposal are related to established <br />yard and bulk standards, established public and private easements, and site drainage. <br />Yard and bulk standards in the Hillsborough West 1 Subdivision PUD and the <br />Residential Low Density – Zoning District of the LMC were used to evaluate the <br />proposal. <br />LOT AREA <br />Lot area refers to the total size of the property. The RL - District allows a minimum lot <br />area of 7,000 square feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will maintain appropriate <br />parcel size when compared to neighboring properties. The proposed lot areas for both <br />parcels are allowed in RL- District Requirements and the Hillsborough West 1 <br />Subdivision PUD. <br />Allowed Lot Area <br />ExistingProposedMinimum Requirement <br />15,85511,711 <br />1562 (Lot 17) <br />SFSF <br />7,000 (.16 A) <br />9,93914,083 <br />1550 (Lot 18) SF <br />SFSF <br />LOT COVERAGE <br />Lot coverage regulates the amount of buildable area on a property. The RL - District <br />allows maximum lot coverage of 30%, meaning an individual could build a house equal <br />to 30% of the lot’s total area. <br />The proposed lot line adjustment must ensure the existing structures meet existing lot <br />coverage requirements. The proposal will allow both properties the opportunity to <br />expand the buildings’ sizes in the future. The proposed adjustment maintains lot <br />coverage consistency with RL- District requirements and the Hillsborough West 1 <br />Subdivision PUD. <br />Allowed Lot Coverage – 30% <br />1562 (Lot 17) 1550 (Lot 18) <br />Current Lot Area 15,855 SF 9,939 SF <br />Allowed SF (30%) 4,756 2,981 <br />Existing SF 2,070 2,810 <br />Remaining Additional SF Allowed 2,686 171 <br />Proposed Lot Area 11,711 SF 14,083 SF <br />Allowed SF (30%) 3,513 4,425 <br />Existing SF 2,070 2,981 <br />Remaining Additional SF Allowed 1,443 1,243 <br />Change - 1,243 + 1,072 <br />SETBACKS <br />The proposed lot adjustment should not create a situation where existing structures <br />violate established building setbacks. The proposed lot line adjustment will only impact <br />the existing side setbacks. The resulting setbacks based on the proposed lot line <br />adjustment are allowed in the Hillsborough West 1 Subdivision PUD. <br />3 <br />
