A. 
Purpose—Future Urbanization (FU-10). This district is intended to preserve for future development at urban densities the future urbanizable areas of the City as designated by the Comprehensive Plan and to act as a "holding area" for future urban development on lands formerly in unincorporated Clackamas County that are annexed to the City.
B. 
Area of Application. The FU-10 zone is applied to those areas designated as future urbanizable on the City's zoning map.
C. 
Permitted Uses. Table 16.22.010-1 identifies the land uses that are allowed in the Future Urbanization (FU-10) District.

Development Standards. The development standards in Table 16.22.010-2 apply to all uses, structures, buildings, and development in the FU-10 District. The purpose of these dimensional standards is to:
1. 
Provide for fire safety and protection of all structures;
2. 
Provide for privacy and livability of dwellings and yard areas; and
3. 
Preserve, within urban growth boundaries, large parcels of land for future development at urban densities.
E. 
Adjustments to Dimensional Requirements. The dimensional standards in Table 16.22.010-2 may be modified under the procedures provided by Chapter 16.63. If the adjustment exceeds 10% of the applicable dimensional standard of this subsection, the matter shall be reviewed under the standards for a variance under Chapter 16.71. If the adjustment is less than 10% of the applicable dimensional standard of this subsection, the criteria shall be the purpose provisions of subsection (D)(1) through (3) of this section.

A. 
Purpose.
1. 
Residential—Forty thousand Square Feet (R-40). This district reflects the first developmental step in the conversion of agricultural or open space land to residential purposes. Through benefit of available public services and faculties, land in this district is capable of supporting lower densities, yet constraints may still exist which would limit present and future carrying capacities. This district provides the transition to the more fully urban development of higher districts while expressing physical limitations on the potential of the land. The district may be applied in sloped areas where clustering and other hillside protection standards are applied. The numerical designation R-40 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 40,000 square feet of lot area.
2. 
Residential—Twenty thousand Square Feet (R-20). This low density urban residential district responds to development patterns already established in the City and perpetuates those patterns in recognition of the potential for infilling and the overall carrying capacity of the land. Single-family detached dwellings on larger lots are encouraged in this district which seeks to maintain "elbow room and breathing space" within the urban framework of the City. This district is a buffer between the low density and undeveloped areas and the higher density, more typical urban residential districts. It is within this district that uses and standards begin to change to reflect the desired urban trends and patterns. The district may be applied in sloped areas where clustering and other hillside protection standards are applied. The numerical designation of R-20 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 20,000 square feet of lot area.
3. 
Residential—Fifteen thousand Square Feet (R-15). This low density urban residential district responds to the continuing urbanization of the City due to the availability of public sanitary sewers in areas previously zoned R-40 or R-20. Single-family detached dwellings are encouraged in this district which seeks to maintain "estate development" within the urban framework of the City. This district is a buffer between the densities allowed in the lower density R-20 district and the densities allowed in the medium density, more typical urban residential districts. The numerical designation of R-15 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 15,000 square feet of lot area.

A. 
Purpose.
1. 
Residential—Ten thousand Square Feet (R-10). This urban residential district is a means by which the densities are increased to make efficient use of available facilities and services in an environment of single-family dwellings. Variations in dwelling types and lot sizes should provide for a necessary flexibility in the City which will prevent typical appearances created by the traditional subdivision of land. Standards in this district are strictly urban oriented and are designed to develop and perpetuate urban trends and patterns. The numerical designation R-10 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 10,000 square feet of lot area.
2. 
Residential—Eight thousand five hundred Square Feet (R-8.5). This urban residential district responds to the continuing urbanization of the City. Single-family detached dwellings are encouraged, but multifamily development is allowed in this district, as part of a PUD, which seeks to maximize the development potential in hillside areas. This district serves as a buffer between the R-10 and R-7 development districts. The numerical designation of R-8.5 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 8,500 square feet.
3. 
Residential—Seven thousand Square Feet (R-7). This development district will allow more urban residential density within the City through the use of small lots and a variation in dwelling types. Trends which were originated in lower density districts are continued and strengthened in this district and the patterns of the Comprehensive Plan are reinforced. Sanitary sewer and water are the most essential of urban services, but all Level I services and facilities are necessary and required for development at full density. The numerical designation R-7 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 7,000 square feet of lot area.

A. 
Purpose.
1. 
Single-Family Attached Residential (SFA). This district is intended to promote the livability, stability and improvement of Happy Valley's new neighborhoods and to provide opportunities for a variety of medium density residential housing types with a density range of 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre, as well as certain neighborhood commercial uses. The district is intended to:
a. 
Make efficient use of land and public services, and implement the Comprehensive Plan, by providing minimum and maximum density standards for housing.
b. 
Accommodate a range of housing needs, including owner-occupied and rental housing.
c. 
Provide for compatible building and site design at an appropriate neighborhood scale.
d. 
Reduce reliance on the automobile for neighborhood travel and provide options for walking and bicycling.
e. 
Provide direct and convenient access to schools, parks and neighborhood services.
2. 
Mixed Use Residential—Attached (MUR-A). Mixed use residential will promote compact form, and residential and commercial or residential and office mixed vertically, in addition to across the district. Minimum densities are provided to comply with the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, Title 1 requirements. MUR-A has a maximum density of 15 units per net acre and a minimum density of 10 units per net acre.
3. 
Village Townhouse District (VTH). This district is based on the Village Townhouse District in the Clackamas County Zoning and Development Ordinance. It was adopted by the City of Happy Valley to provide consistent land use regulations for areas recently annexed to the City.
a. 
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) shall be submitted with each development application pursuant to the City's Traffic Impact Study Guidelines. The TIA shall address, but is not limited to, the following traffic management mechanisms: physical site controls on existing traffic, p.m. peak hour existing traffic limitations, traffic monitoring, restrictions on the number of parking spaces, transportation/transit information center; flextime, staggered working hours, car and van pool spaces, and similar ride share programs.
b. 
The procedures and application requirements under Chapter 16.63 (Land Divisions and Property Line Adjustments) and Article 16.4 (Community Design Standards) shall apply to all development in the Village Townhouse District. If language within these sections conflicts with specific requirements and standards of the village townhouse district, the standards within the village townhouse district shall prevail.
B. 
Permitted Uses. Table 16.22.050-1 identifies the land uses that are allowed in the SFA, MUR-A and VTH Districts.

A. 
Purpose.
1. 
Mixed use residential will promote compact form, and residential and commercial or residential and office mixed vertically, in addition to across the district. The multifamily sub-area provides for a range of densities, each of which should be shown on the master plan map. The multifamily subareas allow for retail uses that are meant to provide services to local residents, not attract outside traffic. The density requirements and minimum/maximum lot sizes are meant as a guide, and will vary based on the amount of unbuildable lands removed from gross acres. The density is calculated by averaging density for the residential district area identified in the master plan. Therefore, some lots may be smaller than the lot sizes given below. Minimum densities are provided to comply with the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, Title 1 requirements.
2. 
MUR-X Mixed Use Buildings with Residential Emphasis. Residential and retail combinations with the primary use of the building being residential. Permitted commercial uses shown on Table 16.22.060-1.
