Sec. 58.1154. - Lot Splits into Nonconforming Lots.
Splitting a conforming lot or parcel into two or more non-conforming lots.
(a) Process. A legally conforming residential lot may be split into two or more non-conforming lots according to either of the following:
(1) Reversion to Original Plat—Residential Lots. When nonconforming residential lots are shown on a plat recorded prior to February 4, 1959, and any portion of two or more lots have been bound together by any action of a property owner to form a conforming building site, the owner may request to revert to the original plat in accordance with the standards provided in this subsection and the procedures provided in Chapter 65, Part 3G. A Final plat pursuant to Chapter 65, Part 3F shall not be required when an application for a reversion to the original plat is submitted. Requests for a quasi-judicial hearing on an application to revert to the original plat may be filed pursuant to Article XXXII, Chapter 2, Orlando City Code.
(2) Plat with Modifications. If a residential building site contains parts and pieces of lots, has never been platted or is a different lot configuration than the original plat, a Plat with Modifications may be requested in accordance with Chapter 65, Part 3G.
(b) Review of the request. In addition to the requirements of Chapter 65, Part 3G, the following regulations apply:
(1) Height. The maximum height is two-stories.
(2) Maximum FAR:
(i) 0.45 if the garage/carport is in the front half of the lot.
(ii) 0.50 if the garage/carport is in the rear half of the lot.
(3) Location of Required Parking. All required parking spaces and garage door elevations shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet from the principal facade of the principal building. For each lot, the combined width of all garage door(s) facing a street shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the combined width of all building elevations facing the same street. Garage accessory structures in the rear half of the lot shall not be included in this calculation, except when the garage accessory structure is located on a corner lot and faces a side street. When a garage accessory structure is located on a corner lot and faces a side street, the garage accessory structure must be set back a minimum of twenty (20) feet from the street side property line. The combined width of all garage door(s) facing a street shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the combined width of all building elevations facing a street, including the garage accessory structure.
(4) Appearance Review. Appearance Review is required pursuant to the requirements and procedures provided in section 62.300 herein and the Traditional City Design Standards in section 62.600 herein.
(5) Block Face Analysis. As part of the review of an application for a reversion to the original plat or plat with modifications under Chapter 65, Part 3G, the City shall analyze the predominant residential development pattern along both sides of the street on the same block face as the subject property excluding corner lots. An inventory or pattern of nonconforming lots due to width, depth or area on the block face is considered as justification for approval of the request, in addition to neighborhood compatibility and consistency with the standards and intent of the Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code.
(c) Submittal Requirements.
(1) Boundary survey of the existing conditions of the property.
(2) Conceptual site plan.
