The RM District recognizes that mobile home development, properly
planned, can provide important opportunities for affordable housing.
It provides opportunities for mobile home development within planned
parks or subdivisions, along with the supporting services necessary
to create quality residential neighborhoods.

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: Single-Family Attached Townhouse Development.
| |
|
No more than four units may be attached in a single townhouse
structure within an RM District. Regulators are shown on a per-unit
basis. Side yard setbacks are indicated for detached building walls.
| |
|
Note 2: Zero Lot Line and 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.
|
|
Note 3: Flexible Yard Setbacks in Planned Districts.
| |
|
The Planning Commission and City Council may vary required minimum
setbacks in planned districts other than mobile home parks. However,
the setback from the front facade of a garage to any public or private
street right-of-way (including the boundary of sidewalks) must be
at least 20 feet.
| |
|
Note 4: Mobile Home Parks and Subdivisions.
| |
|
Complete development standards for mobile home parks and subdivisions are set forth in § 410-31.3.
