16. Siting requirements for general residential zones
(1) In this by‑law —
general residential zone means a general residential zone declared under the Uniform Building By‑laws 1974 4 as in force before the coming into operation of these by‑laws.
(2) Nothing in this by‑law operates so as to prevent the construction, occupancy or use of a single family detached unit on a lot created prior to the definition and classification of the general residential zone in which the lot is comprised.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these by‑laws but subject to this by‑law, a person shall not construct a building on a lot in a general residential zone, except in conformity with Part A, B or C of the table to this by‑law whichever applies in relation to the lot in question, as the class of the general residential zone may require.
(4) Subject to the particular provisions of the table to this by‑law the following provisions apply to all residential buildings in every general residential zone —
(a) Lot coverage by buildings: A residential building or buildings shall not occupy a greater percentage of a lot than is shown in the table to this paragraph;
Lot coverage in G R zones

Up to and including 0.7 ................................................35
From 0.7 up to and including 0.9 .................................20
From 0.9 up to and including 1.1 ............................16.66
Over 1.1 ........................................................................15
(b) Distances between buildings on the same lot: Where more than one building is constructed on a lot, all standards shall be observed, as though the development were a single structure. In addition, the minimum distance between 2 buildings shall be 9 m or that required under the formula set out below, whichever is the greater. The formula regulating the minimum distance between any buildings (referred to as “Building A” and “Building B”) is as follows —
Image unavailable in extracted text
where
D is the required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of Building A and any wall of Building B or the vertical prolongation of either.
LA is the total length of Building A. The total length of Building A is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of Building A from which, when viewed from directly above, lines drawn perpendicular to Building A will intersect any wall of Building B.
LB is the total length of Building B. The total length of Building B is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of Building B from which, when viewed from directly above, lines drawn perpendicular to Building B will intersect any wall of Building A.
HA is the height of Building A. The height of Building A is the height above natural ground level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of Building A. Natural ground level is the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building.
HB is the height of Building B. The height of Building B is the height above natural ground level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of Building B. Natural ground level is the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining that portion or portions of the wall or walls, along the total length of the building.
The minimum required distance between 2 buildings as derived from the formula set out in this paragraph may be reduced by 15% if —
(i) either of the buildings has a height of 2 storeys or less and the other has a height of 6 storeys or more; and
(ii) the difference between the heights of the 2 buildings is 18 m or more.
Single storey covered parking areas shall not be regarded as separate buildings for the purposes of this paragraph.
(c) Setbacks for lots with multiple street frontages: Setbacks from all effective street frontages shall conform to the standards for front boundaries, except in the case of a lot at a corner or intersecting streets, where the minimum setback from not more than one secondary street is reduced to one‑half the minimum setback from the effective frontage to the primary street or streets.
(d) Sizes, location and design of car‑parking, natural planting and pedestrian spaces on lots: The minimum dimensions of every required car‑parking space shall be 5.4 m x 2.4 m excluding all access drives. A minimum of 50% of the area of every lot shall be designed, developed and maintained as natural planting and pedestrian space (access driveways between street alignment and setback line may be included in the 50% of the area maintained as natural planting). When considering any development, the council shall have regard to and may impose conditions on, the details of locating and designing the required car‑parking spaces, natural planting and pedestrian spaces on the lot. In particular, the council shall take into account, and may impose conditions concerning —
(i) the proportion of car spaces to be roofed or covered;
(ii) the proportion of car spaces to be below natural ground level;
(iii) the means of access to each car space and the adequacy of any vehicular manoeuvring area;
(iv) the location of the car spaces on the site and their effect on the amenity of adjoining development, including the potential effect, if those spaces should later be roofed or covered;
(v) the extent to which car spaces are located within required building setback area;
(vi) the locations of proposed public footpaths, vehicular crossings or private footpaths, within the lot, and the effect on both pedestrian and vehicular traffic movement and safety;
(vii) the suitability and adequacy of proposed screening or natural planting; and
(viii) the suitability and adequacy of elevated structural decks for development and service as a proportion of the required area for natural planting and pedestrian space.
17. Open space for Class 4 Buildings
(1) A person shall construct a Class 4 Building on a lot in such a manner that provision is made for an unroofed open space of not less than 42 m2 having a length of not less than 3 m on at least one side.
(2) Sub‑bylaw (1) does not apply where provision is made for an unroofed open space of the dimensions referred to in that sub‑bylaw on a floor of the Class 4 Building at a level other than the ground level of the lot.
18. Area and frontage restrictions for Class 6 Building
A person shall not construct a Class 6 Building on a lot unless —
(a) the area of the lot exceeds 185 m2; and
(b) the frontage of the lot exceeds 5 m.
19. Loading docks for Class 6, 7 and 8 Buildings
A Class 6, 7 or 8 Building shall be provided with loading docks and access ways sufficient in size wholly to contain vehicles within the building or on the lot on which the building stands and to permit a motor vehicle to enter the street without reversing.
20. Rear access for Class 6, Class 1 and 6, Class 7 and Class 8 Buildings
(1) A Class 6 Building, Class 1 and 6 Building combined, a Class 7 Building or Class 8 Building shall be provided with means of access from a street for the purposes of the removal of rubbish from the building and servicing every separate occupancy within the building.
(2) The means of access required under sub‑bylaw (1) —
(a) shall be not less than 1 500 mm in width;
(b) shall not pass through the building or any arcade of the building;
(c) shall not pass through the street entrance to the building.
