An Overview of Garrett Park Building Regulations Harry Gordon, FAIA Chairman GP Setback Advisory Committee May 2009

The Setback Advisory Committee advises the Town Council on the interpretation of the GP ordinances for individual building permit applications.  Council Member – Beth Irons  Committee Members: Harry Gordon Ed Shawaker Pat Keating

The Committee (SAC) makes an objective assessment of each building permit application and advises the Town regarding the conformance with the GP ordinances. In addition, the SAC frequently does an informal review of proposed designs before a permit application is received.

The Town and County Regulations are Designed to be Complementary  Garrett Park Ordinances, Chapter 4, Building, Housing and Business Regulations  Montgomery County Code, Zoning Ordinance, Sec. 59-C , Residential and Open Space Preservation Overlay Zone for the Town of Garrett Park

Purposes of Garrett Park Regulations – Section 402(a) 1.To….preserve and protect the lands and improvements within the Town by ensuring that all proposed new construction and alterations to buildings in the Town be compatible with the Town’s existing scale, natural topography, vegetation, trees, physical setting, and density of development.

Purposes of Garrett Park Regulations – Section 402(a) 2.To establish stricter or additional building location or setback requirements than those of the current Montgomery County Zoning Ordinance for the construction, repair, erection, or remodeling of houses, buildings, or other structures…..

Overview and Terminology

Front setback is the greater of 30 feet or the established building line

Each side setback must be 10 feet minimum, and total must be at least 40% of lot width

The rear setback requirement is determined based on the depth of the lot.  40-foot rear setback for a lot of 100 feet in depth.  Increased for lots of greater depth (or decreased for lots of smaller depth) by 70% of the difference between the average depth of the lot and 100 feet.  Example: 200-foot lot depth: 40 ft (200 ft – 100 ft) = 110 ft

Adjustments to Setbacks  Either the rear or side setbacks may be adjusted provided that the resulting reduction in rear of side setback is offset by an equivalent increase in the square footage of the other yard areas. (402(b)(4)).  This provides flexibility in placement of the main building while maintaining the building (lot) coverage limit.

The main building cannot exceed 18% of lot area. In addition, the Montgomery County Garrett Park Overlay Zone limits the building (lot) coverage of the main and any accessory building(s) to 20% of lot area.

Setbacks and Coverage requirements work together to maintain open space.  Neither setbacks nor lot coverage alone provides the controls that are needed to address non-standard lot conditions that are common in Garrett Park. Examples: Non-rectangular lots Additions to existing buildings that do not conform to current setback requirements

Example of Common GP Existing Building with 25-foot Front Setback Without the 18% lot coverage provision, an addition of 450 SF could be added to the existing 1,500 SF house, which would result in 1,950 SF for the main building, equaling a lot coverage of 19.5%. Both setbacks and lot coverage are needed.

Under Montgomery County Zoning Regulations the main building height may not exceed 35 feet Garrett Park does not currently regulate building height.

Maximum floor area ratio for main and accessory buildings = 0.375

Other Provisions  Front porches may extend 8 feet into setback for buildings existing before 1999  Lots less than 8,600 square feet may seek a variance permitting greater lot coverage  Corner lots – both street frontages are treated as front setbacks

Basis for Variance  ….where unusual dimensions, shape, topography, or other exceptional characteristics of a particular lot are such that the strict and literal enforcement… would result in unusual practical difficulties, or exceptional or undue hardship on, the owner…
