367 DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS Measurements, Calculations, and Interpretation of Dimensional Standards 23 Chapter Franklin Zoning Ordinance Effective January 1, 2025 lot being requested to subdivide; 2. Next, find the average lot size by adding all lot sizes together and dividing by the total number of lots in step 1 above; 3. Then, multiply the average lot size from step 2 above by 75% (0.75) to find the 75% of the average lot size; 4. If the number in step 3 is more than 6,500 square feet, the number from step 3 is the minimum lot size. If the number from step 3 is less than 6,500 square feet, then 6,500 square feet is the minimum lot size. 23.2.7 Lot Width A. For lots that front onto one street, lot width is the distance between the side lot lines measured at the point of the front yard setback line. B. Corner lots have two lot width minimums; one facing each street. For corner lots, the lot width is the distance between the side lot line and the opposite street-facing front lot line, measured at the point of the front yard setback line. C. Lots in the R4 and OR districts have contextbased lot width minimums, which shall be calculated per the following steps: 1. Find the lot width (in feet) for each existing lot that is on the block face. The block face is every lot on the same side of the street between two intersecting streets, railroad right-ofway, or watercourses, or combination thereof. All existing lots are included in the calculation, including the subject lot; 2. Next, find the average lot width by adding all lot widths together and dividing by the total number of lots from step 1 above; 3. Then multiply the average lot width from step 2 above by 75% (0.75) to find the minimum lot width requirement; 4. If the number in step 3 is more than 60 feet, the number from step 3 is the minimum lot width. If the number from step 3 is less than 60 feet, then 60 feet is the minimum lot width. Figure 23.2.7.A Lot Width 23.2.8 Rear Yard The rear yard setback extends the full width of the lot. Rear setbacks are measured perpendicular from the rear property line or the edge of the existing or proposed alley, whichever is greater, as applicable. 23.2.9 Side Yard The side yard setback extends from the required front yard setback line to the required rear yard setback line. If no front or rear yard setback is required, the setback extends the full depth of the lot. Side setbacks are measured perpendicular from the side lot line. Corner lots have side yards along any lot line that does not front a street or internal drive. 23.2.10 Yards Required for Buildings A yard or other open area required about a building may not be included in the measurement of a required yard or other open space for another building.
