| dc.description.abstract | Issues Addressed: allowing residential lots to front onto a shared court street tract provides additional homeownership opportunities for small infill sites zoned for higher density development. Such sites are often too small for condominium arrangements to be feasible, but sometimes are subject to density requirements or have site constraints that make rowhouses and common green arrangements impractical (many builders and architects avoid small-scale condominium projects because of liability issues and prefer fee-simple arrangements with each unit on a separate lot); provides for a larger pedestrian-oriented area than a conventional street with sidewalk arrangements, since rowhouse-type projects at R1 and higher densities typically have sidewalks interrupted by frequent driveways; allows for efficient use of limited site area; preserves on-street parking and allows a more pedestrian-friendly public street frontage by allowing a single access point, rather than the multiple curb cuts common with rowhouses; by providing an alternative to the usual requirements for roadway-plus-sidewalks, allows for less impervious surface, thus contributing to minimizing stormwater impacts and urban heat island effects; if pervious pavers are used, could allow for additional stormwater management strategies.
