Front Yard: A building that occupies the full width of the lot from side boundary to

side boundary. The frontage setback may vary by subdistrict to define the desired

urban condition. This arrangment is often used for residential townhouse

developments, and when combined with a rear outboulding and side walls/fences,

creates a private realm.

Rearyard: A building that occupies the full frontage, leaving the rear of the lot as

the sole yard. This is a very urban type as the continuous facade steadily defines

the public thoroughfare. The rear elevations may be articulated for functional

purposes. For its commercial form, the rear yard can accommodate substantial

parking.

Courtyard: A building that occupies the boundaries of its lot while internally

defining one or more private or semi-private patios. This is the most urban of

types, as it is able to shield the private realm from all or most sides while strongly

defining the public thoroughfare.

Building Disposition. This table approximates the location of the principal building relative to the boundaries of each individual lot, establishing suitable building types for

each Infill/Redevelopment District.

City of Fellsmere

Edgeyard: A building that occupies the center of its lot with setbacks on all sides.

This is the least urban of types as the front yard sets it back from the frontage,

while the side yards weaken the spatial definition of the public thoroughfare space.

The front yard is intended to be visually continuous with the yards of adjacent

buildings. The rear yard can be secured for privacy by fences and a well placed

backbuilding and/or outbuilding.

Sideyard: A building that occupies one side of the lot with the setback to the other

side. The frontage setback may vary by subdistrict to define the desired urban

condition.

Private Frontages. The Private Frontage is the areas between the building facades and the lot lines.

SECTION PLAN

City of Fellsmere

Stoop: a frontage wherein the façade is aligned close to

the frontage line with the first story elevated from the

sidewalk sufficiently to ensure privacy for the windows.

The entrance is usually an exterior stair and landing. This

type is recommended for ground-floor residential use.

Forecourt: a frontage wherein the façade is close to the

frontage line and the central portion is set back. Large

trees within the forecourts may overhang the sidewalks.

Commercial: the facade is set back from the frontage

line to accommodate pedestrian and/or vehicular access,

parking and civic spaces. This type is conventional for

retail use away from the core downtown area.

Gallery: an attached cantilevered shed or lightweight

colonnade that overlaps the sidewalk, while the façade at

sidewalk level remains at or behind the fontage line. This

type is conventional for retail use. The gallery should be

no less than 10 feet wide and should overlap a sidewalk.

Arcade: a collonade supporting habitable space that

overlaps the sidewalk, while the façade at sidewalk level

remains at or behind the frontage line. This type is

conventional for retail use. The arcade shall be no less

than 10 feet wide and should overlap a sidewalk.

Shopfront: a frontage wherein the façade is aligned

close to the frontage line with the building entrance at

sidewalk grade. This type is conventional for retail use. It

has substantial glazing on the sidewalk level and may

have awnings that overlap the sidewalk.

Reduced Yard: a planted frontage where the façade is

set back from the frontage line with an attached porch

permitted to encroach. A fence may be placed at the

frontage line to maintain street spatial definition. If

provided, porches shall be no less than 8 feet deep.

Large Yard: a planted frontage wherein the façade is set

back substantially from the frontage line. The front yard

created remains unfenced and is visually continuous with

adjacent yards, supporting a common landscape.

Civic Space: Civic Space types are defined by the combination of certain physical constants including the relationships among

their intended use, their size, their landscaping and their enfronting buildings.

Plaza: An open space available for civic purposes and commercial activities. A

plaza shall be partially defined by building frontages. Its landscape shall consist

primarily of urban hardscape elements and defined landscape beds. Trees are

optional; however in the absence of trees, a shade bearng hardscape element

is required. Plazas should be located at the intersection of important streets

and may be provided mid-way along long pedestrian routes. The minimum size

shall be 100 square feet.

Playground: An open space designed and equipped for the recreation of

children. A playground may be fenced and may include an open shelter.

Playgrounds may be included within parks and greens. There shall be no

minimum or maximum size.

Park: An open space available for structured or unstructured recreation. A park

may be independent of surrounding building frontages. Its landscape shall

consist of paths and trails, water bodies, open shelters, and other man made

recreation items, all naturalistically disposed. Parks may be lineal, following the

trajectories of natural corridors, roads or blocks. The minimum size shall be

0.25 acres.

Green: An open space, available for unstructured recreation. A green may be

spatially defined by landscaping rather than building frontages. Its landscape

shall consist of lawn and trees, naturalistically disposed. The minimum size

shall be 0.25 acres.

Square: An open space available for unstructured recreation and civic

purposes. A square is partially defined by building frontages. Its landscape

shall consist of paths, lawns and trees, formally disposed. Squares should be

located at the intersection of important thoroughfares. The minimum size shall

be 0.25 acres.

Section 9.0. Infill/Redevelopment Overlay District General Standards. A. Background and Intent. Infill/redevelopment projects shall be encouraged within existing residential and commercial areas in the core of the City as designated on the Future Land Use Map of the City of Fellsmere Comprehensive Plan. Such infill/redevelopment areas shall be regulated through overlay zoning districts contained herein defining specific standards and procedures of development. The purpose of the Infill/Redevelopment Overlay District is to encourage redevelopment, historic restoration, infill development, and generally to promote a sense of place within the historic portion of the city by providing standards and development incentives that are not otherwise available. This includes the promotion of traditional historical building types and the enabling of social interaction on downtown streets and to preserve the small town character of Fellsmere. The Infill/Redevelopment Overlay District authorizing infill/redevelopment shall incorporate standards and/or review criteria for mandating retention of civic and open space and for regulating building design, setbacks, building placement and orientation on site, architectural standards, urban design standards, sign regulations, landscaping and parking. These provisions shall be directed toward protecting privacy, as well as to light, air, and open space. Other reasonable design principles shall be included in the Infill/Redevelopment Overlay Districts to alleviate adverse impacts of potentially incompatible land uses. The following general infill development and redevelopment values are hereby promoted:

1. Maintain development consistency with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan and promote compatibility with surrounding uses;

2. Promote economic development, eliminate blighting community influences, provide a diverse range and mix of development opportunities, protect existing residential areas, and preserve intrinsic natural and man-made resources;

3. Create and incorporate design guidelines for renovations, remodeling, redevelopment and new construction, which includes, but is not limited to, architectural styles, landscaping, signage, walls/fences, and the like;

4. Maintain strong community standards and aesthetics while encouraging diversity in design, materials, layout and other characteristics of development;

5. Establish a set of performance standards for all development to follow; 6. Establish a theme for streetscape, signage, lighting, furniture, and other outside features for use within the district

when undertaking development; 7. Create and re-affirm, a sense of place and community for the City of Fellsmere; 8. Encourage the redevelopment and adaptive reuse of historically significant and architecturally important

structures; 9. Reinforce and enhance the city's community appearance; 10. Complement adjacent development and buildings in terms of general intensity and use for residential projects; 11. Provide special consideration to street pattern, identifiable style, proportions, shapes, relationship to the street,

pattern of buildings and yards, and patterns created by doors, windows, projections and recesses; and 12. For multifamily and nonresidential development, mandate traditional, historically relevant, durable construction

which is harmonious with the architectural heritage of the historic portion of Fellsmere. B. Infill/redevelopment district and subdistrict boundaries. There is hereby established within the City of Fellsmere an "Infill/Redevelopment District Overlay Zone," hereinafter the "Infill/Redevelopment District." The boundaries of the Infill/Redevelopment Overlay Zone are set forth in Figure 1-1C of the Comprehensive Plan, and the infill/redevelopment subdistricts are set forth on the official zoning atlas and further described in Section 9.2. C. Applicability. The Infill/Redevelopment Overlay District regulations shall apply to all new development and substantial redevelopment of parcels within each subdistrict as defined herein. Substantial redevelopment shall be defined as building additions or modifications equal to 50% of the value of the existing building as determined by the Indian River Property Appraiser, re-facing, re-roofing, re-painting, any changes to the site’s access or parking lots, any new signage or replacement of existing signs except for sign faces or language, any changes or additions to the landscape, or any expansion of the site.

1. Existing buildings and appurtenances that do not conform to the provisions of this Article may continue in the same use and form until substantial redevelopment occurs or is requested, at which time the TRC shall determine what provisions of this Article shall apply.

2. The modification of existing buildings is permitted if such changes result in greater conformance with the specifications of this Article.

3. Where buildings exist on adjacent lots, the TRC may require that a proposed building match one or the other of the adjacent setbacks and heights rather than the provisions of this Article.

4. The restoration or rehabilitation of an existing building shall not require the provision of additional parking or additional on-site stormwater retention/detention.

5. Provisions of this Article are activated by “shall” when required; “should” when recommended; and “may” when optional.

6. The provisions of this Article, when in conflict, shall take precedence over those of other codes, ordinances, regulations and standards

7. Existing codes shall continue to be applicable to issues not covered by this Article. 8. Article II, Definitions of the Code contain regulatory language that is integral to this Article. Those terms not

defined in Article II shall be accorded their commonly accepted meanings. In the event of conflicts between these definitions and those of the other codes, ordinances, regulations and standards, those of this Code shall take precedence.

9. Numerical metrics shall take precedence over graphic metrics. 10. Non-conforming uses created by the adoption of this Article shall be deemed legal non-conforming uses subject

to the provisions of Article VIII of this Code. D. Interpretation. In the interpretation and application of this land development code article, the provisions hereof shall be held to be minimum requirements. Greater than such minimum requirements may be imposed where to do so will more reasonably effectuate the proposed development and where such greater requirement is necessary in order to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the users or general community. In the event of a conflict between these regulations and others within the city’s Land Development Code, it is the intent of the City of Fellsmere that these regulations shall be the governing standards for development upon lands within the Infill/Redevelopment District. The city’s Land Development Code shall govern in areas not addressed within this Article. The City of Fellsmere shall have full authority in interpreting their meaning and applicability to any specific situation. E. Effective date.
