Applicable Guidelines
Heart of Knoxville Infill Housing Design Guidelines
See Guidelines- 2. House Orientation and Side Yards
- The typical city lot prior to 1930 was 50 feet wide. This dimension led to the development of houses which were relatively narrow and had substantial depth. Craftsman style homes are good examples of this characteristic. Because of this, side yards were relatively narrow. Toward the mid-twentieth century, the increase in lot width was reflected by the development of the Ranch house.
- - New housing should be proportional to the dimensions of the lot and other houses on the block.
- - Side yard setbacks should be similar to older houses on the block, keeping the rhythm of spacing between houses consistent.
- - On lots greater than 50' in width, consider recreating the original lot size.
