MINIMUM LOT SIZES

The concept of open space and privacy is extended to the regulation of minimum lot sizes, especially in low density districts. The new Resolution provides an upgraded single-family detached house district (R1) which recognizes modern trends in single house construction. Lot widths in this district must be at least 60 feet. In all other districts, 40-foot minimum widths are required for all one- and two-family detached houses. The basic regulations for all other dwelling types in the General Residence Districts (R3-R10) will serve to prevent sub-standard row house construction.
