The R-1 District is intended to provide for urban residential
development, with gross densities generally below six units per acre.
These areas generally include single-family detached and attached
dwellings on relatively large lots with supporting community facilities
and urban services, including City water and sanitary sewer service.
The R-1 District may also be used as a "holding zone" prior to subdivision
for areas designated in the Comprehensive Plan for residential development.
The use of the R-1 District for development using wells and individual
septic systems should be discouraged, although it is not prohibited.

The required rear yard area is calculated as 20% of the lot
depth times the lot width. Provided that this minimum area is maintained,
a portion of a residential structure may come as close as 10 feet
to a rear lot line.
|
|
Note 1: Zero Lot Line or Single-Family Attached Development.
| |
|
Within a common development, one interior side yard may be equal
to zero for single-family detached residential use if:
| |
|
1.
|
The normal side yard setback requirement must be maintained
adjacent to any lot with an existing structure not within the common
development; or not otherwise designated for zero lot line use.
|
|
2.
|
An easement for maintenance of the zero lot line facade is prepared
by the developer and filed with the Seward County Register of Deeds,
the City Clerk, and the Building Official at the time of application
for a building permit.
