Proposed ordinance: Alternative Residential Subdivisions (AME2018 0012)
The Alternative Residential Subdivision ordinance is designed to provide reasonable minimum standards and procedures for small-lot residential communities in which all or some of the lots do not substantially conform to the minimum requirements for a traditional subdivided lot, and allows for the ability to develop a range of housing options not available today, while encouraging developments that are in harmony with the surrounding area. Such development possibilities include infill development, tiny houses, and cottage-size housing.
Proposed Title 49 amendment regarding accessory apartments (AME2018 0001)
This ordinance would amend Title 49, Land Use Code 49.25.510(k) with respect to accessory apartments. The revisions are “housekeeping” in nature and do not change policy or intent.
