Schedule 18.31.030-B depicts the lower and upper ends afthe density range fQr eaeh single-family

the maximum density permitted in each "RM" District. That density is expressed in the maYimum
number of dwelling units permitted based on the net area of the lot. This cflde specifically is
structured to correct the density from gross to net for "R.M" Districts. The schedule also provides

(1) Front-�ard Setback. The required front-yard setback may be determined through
averaging provided that when 4 or more parcels in a block have been improved with
structures, the minimum front-yard setbaek sha11 be the average of the setbacks on the
improved parc�ls if this average is less than the minimum setback required by this chapter.
The maximum setback in the "RE" and "RS" Districts for lots less than forty-thausand
(40,000) square feet is fifty(50} feet, or farty percent(40°l0} of the lot depth, whichever is
greater unless a zoning exceptian is obtained.
{2) lYIulti-story Limitations. In order to limit impacts to the rear-yard privacy of single-
family developments and ta ensure adequate building bulk and height transitions between
single-family and multiple-family districts, the following "R.M" multistory setback is
established:
The minimum setback to a second ar higher story, where an "RM" District abuts an "RE"
or "RS" District shall be twenty-five (25) feet. For discretionary permits, including
subdivision of land, the approving body may require second-story setbacks up to fifty{50)
feet if, given the circumstances of the site and surrounding properties—such as building
size and height, tapography, and similar cansiderations—the additional setback is
necessary to achieve the intent af this section.
(3) Minimum IJards. Projections into yards are allowed for decks, porches, bay windaws,
roof eaves and similar features; see SectiQn 18.40.Q3Q, Building Prajections into Setbaek
Areas.

for each story over two (2) in a multiple-family building, unless the upper story is set back

shall be a minimum of f fteen (15').
(5} Private and Common Outdoor Living Area. Each multiple-family residential
develapment (two (2} or mare dwelling units on a singl� lot) shall pravide private and
common areas for its tenants. Private areas typically consist of covered c�r uncovered

minimum of eighty{80)square feet with a minimum depth often{10)feet sha11 be provided
with each dwelling unit. The minimurn depth ean be redueed to six{6)feet for upper-story
units.
Comman outdoQr-activity areas typically consist of landscape areas, walks, patios,
swimming pools, barbeque areas, shade elements, playgrounds, turf, or other such
improvements as are appropriate to enhance the 4utdaor enviranment af the development.
A11 areas nat improved with buildings, parking, vehicular access ways, trash enclosures,
and similar items shall be developed as common areas with the type of attributes described
