Residential lots encroaching into a designated flood plain area shall have a minimum lot size of 1 acre, or the encroaching flood plain area shall be dedicated as a Storm Water Management Area to the City of Grand Prairie. The District is suitable for the style of structures in which each dwelling unit is situated on a separately platted lot of record, where the property line runs coincident with the common firewall separating the units. This is the only wall to be attached to another structure. The District should be properly buffered from nonresidential uses, and protected from pollution and/or environmental hazards. They should also be buffered from high volumes of traffic, by prohibiting direct access of the development to minor and principal arterials. Single-family attached development should be considered a medium density use. Amenity and design standards specified in Appendix W, Section 2 of this code shall be applied to this district. The Single Family-Attached Residential District (SF-A) is suitable for duplex-style residential structures in which each dwelling unit is situated on a separately platted lot of record, where the property line runs coincident with the common firewall separating the two dwelling units. The Single Family-Attached Residential District (SF-A) recognizes the difference between single-family detached and single-family attached dwelling units, and has adjusted the area requirements accordingly.
