R-2 Zoning in Orange County
I recently purchased a property that has 2 duplexes side by side. For simplicity, I call it a quadplex.
After I had already made the offer, I realized that due to zoning, I could potentially build more units on the property. The lot is 17,502 square feet, and according to this zoning guide, if the lot is over 15,000 square feet, it appears that I can build more, as long as I adhere to the setbacks (page 15) http://www.orangecountyfl.net/Portals/0/resource%2..
The back of the quadplex is 66 feet from the back of the lot, and the setback requirements are 30 feet for the zoning. Sure, I can can probably build more units, but I am more concerned about parking. Would a parking lot or driveway have to adhere to the setbacks in Orange County?
I have personally seen driveways and parking lots that are zero lot line, so I am hopeful about it.
Either way, I am looking for solutions, because I think there is a lot of upside to this property.
Thanks in advance.
