The major setback conditions are discussed below by street: Broadway. A twenty foot setback is required throughout the district. The majority of existing structures meet this standard. A twenty foot setback is required throughout the district..

Floor Area Ratio The General Plan designates a 0.5 to 2.0 FAR for the Broadway Corridor, while most small lot development, typical for the corridor, would not exceed 0.5 FAR. Exhibit 38, Broadway Corridor Height and Setbacks, defines the Parcel Size setback dimensions from property lines and other benchmarks throughout the district, and height limits and setbacks for buildings The minimum parcel area is 6,000 square feet with a minimum Sher than 35 feet. Reference information on the exhibit shows frontage of 50 feet. fisting buildings that are likely to remain, thereby indicating relationships between existing buildings an potential new development or revitalization. ~11Kr/1~1 / L1VKY.l YY K~' ~V11111V1 L1Jl11Vl 71
