SECTION 8 SPECIAL <strong>REGULATIONS</strong> 8.13.1 There shall be no new construction of residential facilities in non-residential zones except as provided herein. 8.13.2 An existing residential structure or use may be extended or enlarged and the number of units expanded to not more than a total of three (3), except that in no case may the number of units be increased in any zone other than the C1, C2 and OP. No unit may be added without a Special Permit and three (3) family structures shall meet the density requirements and general intent of Section 3.7. 8.13.3 Accessory uses may be permitted subject to Section 8.1. 8.13.4 Where a residential structure exists in a non-residential zone, no additional usage of the property may occur unless the lot area contains at least 20,000 square feet of land area for each unit in addition to the minimum lot area required in the particular zone. 8.13.5.1 The Commission may permit a mixed development combining multi-family units and commercial activity, provided a minimum of 60% of the building area is dedicated to commercial use and the minimum number of residential units is twenty (20). No building permits shall be issued for the residential units if separate, until 80% of the commercial facilities are complete. The project design shall conform to the requirements of Section 3.7 and shall conform to the requirements of the particular zone in which it is located. This section shall be applied to the C1, C2 and OP zones only. 8.14 REAR LOTS 8.14.0 Rear lot applications shall be considered as special situations, each requiring individual justification by the applicant. The burden of proof shall be on the applicant to demonstrate how special circumstances make a specific rear lot development proposal consistent with Section 8.2 and how it will avoid adverse effects on surrounding properties. 8.14.1 The design of the rear lot will be in basic harmony with the surrounding uses and will be in general character with the surrounding neighborhood. Where rear lots are proposed within existing developments, the proposed house shall be screened from other surrounding dwelling units, by topography, natural vegetation, new plantings, excessive distance or a combination of such factors. If land grading or additional vegetation is called for on the rear lot, it shall be planned so that it adds to, rather than subtracts from, any existing screening. 8.14.2 The rear lot shall have an adequate and safe access way at least twenty (20) feet in width running from an accepted street. If the access way is in the form of an easement across a front lot (existing or proposed), then the frontage of the front lot shall be measured exclusive of the easement width. 120
SECTION 8 SPECIAL <strong>REGULATIONS</strong> 8.14.3 A rear lot shall have a minimum area of 5 acres. The front, side and rear yards shall be at least twice the minimum requirement of Section 5.1. Access ways shall not be used in the area computation. 8.14.4 If rear lots are proposed in subdivisions, the incidence of rear lots shall not exceed the greater of one (1) lot or 20% of the number of lots for which subdivision approval is sought. The Commission may waive this requirement when such waiver will result in a reduction in the length of subdivision roads. 8.14.5 All rear lots must comply with the contiguous developable area requirements of Section 3.2.7 of the Subdivision Regulations. 8.14.6 Section 3.2.6 of the Subdivision Regulations concerning Lot Square, shall not apply to rear lots. 8.14.7 The design of the rear lot shall be such that a rectangle of 200 feet by 400 feet can be accommodated within the perimeter of the rear lot. 8.14.8 All rear lot applications shall include maps and plans prepared in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Subdivision Regulations as necessary to demonstrate that the proposed lot(s) conform to the above regulations and all applicable Subdivision and Zoning Regulations and the State of Connecticut Public Health Code. 8.15 AGRICULTURE These Regulations have been developed to promote, protect, retain and encourage Granby's rural character. This rural character has its roots in the tradition of New England Agriculture: the small farm, the fruit orchard, and the dairy. Granby's overall plan for development requires that this agricultural presence be continued through the use of inclusionary rather than exclusionary agricultural regulation. Creative development; which seeks to further an agricultural presence and the retention of a rural character shall be encouraged. 8.15.1 Dogs, cats and other pets, which are kept as companions and normally housed together with human occupants are permitted in any zone on any size lot in conjunction with a residence. 8.15.2 The keeping of livestock shall be permitted in all residential zones on any lot of 30,000 square feet or more. 121
