229 Belleau St, Lafayette, LA 70501

The subject lot is zoned RS-1, but does not meet the minimum lot size for the district. Being that the lot was established in 1947 and prior to the current zoning standards, the lot is designated as legal, non-conforming. The designation allows the lot to be considered a lot of record and eligible for building permit. The lot width is less than 50 feet and is allowed special provisions for the reduction of side setback requirements by 10% of the lot width. Any building on the lot is subject to the following setbacks: Front - 20 feet, Back - 10 feet, Side - 2.5 feet. A cautionary note for any building less than 5 feet from the property line may require some level of mitigation to meet fire code. Please refer to an architect/engineer for specific fire code requirements.
