minimum lot area for properties zoned UU. The ordinance typically requires a
front building line of zero feet, twenty-five feet along the rear when adjacent to
single-family and four feet along the side property lines when adjacent to single-
family. Staff is supportive of the indicated lot area and proposed setbacks.

and with a lot width of 50 feet and a lot depth of 150 feet. The home will contain
3000 square feet, two stories in height and a 2 car detached garage. The
