Example of an Alley loaded Lot Plan
Compact Lots range in lot size from 2,400 sq. ft. to 4,999 sq. ft. and result in densities generally ranging from six to eleven units per acre. Compact Lot sizes are smaller than traditional detached product lots and generally range from 40 to 45 feet in width and from 70 to 90 feet in depth. (Note: The Grove Neighborhood has a maximum lot width of 55 feet. See page 74)
These lot products typically have relatively smaller floor areas and reduced private yard areas, and are typically intended for specific market segments such as first-time buyers (lower price points) and move-down empty nesters (less maintenance).
Typical Compact Lot Residential Product Types include:
Front load homes.
Rear load or alley homes.
Paired Z lots that share usable lot area with a use easement and have one semi-recessed garage, and one fully recessed garage on the adjacent lot to enhance the street scene.
Cluster/Courtyard homes that share a motor court access and are typically grouped in pods of 4 to 6 lots.
