It applies to lots that have a minimum size

degree of flexibility in site design within the Downtown Urban Renewal
Area, as an option at the request of the applicant, the Village Board

allow further subdivision of the lot to permit individual or multiple
unit ownership for the purposes of constructing a townhome dwelling,
two-family attached dwelling, or a mixture of townhomes and two-family
attached dwellings. In order to qualify for this option, the property
must have a lot area of 20,000 square feet inclusive of the property
to be further subdivided. This option shall not be available to applicants
with properties that do not meet the minimum lot area requirement
of 20,000 square feet.

requirements of the Downtown Urban Renewal Area overlay district are
