Common
Elements. Each section in this subchapter contains the following subsections:
1.
Purposes.
2.
Permitted,
Conditional, Limited and Not Permitted Housing Types (organized in
tables).
3.
Permitted,
Conditional, Limited and Not Permitted Uses (organized in tables).

Pertinent Regulations.
B.
Purpose.
Purpose statements for each zone subchapter are descriptive of the
zone's characteristics and intent, and are drawn from the Comprehensive
Plan and/or the Community Development Code. Purpose statements are
informational and not intended to be regulations.
C.
Housing Types. Residential uses occupy a variety of housing types. Permitted, limited and not permitted housing types within each zone are summarized in tables based on the definitions of housing types listed in Section 12.01.500. Neither the residential use categories nor the housing types distinguish between owner-or renter-occupation.
D.
Uses.
Permitted, conditionally permitted, limited and not permitted uses
within each zone are summarized in tables based on the standardized
use categories described in Subchapter 12.10.
1.
Permitted
Uses (P) are allowed by right, subject to all applicable provisions
of this Code.
2.
Conditionally Permitted Uses (C) may be allowed, subject to approval on an individual basis as Conditional Uses. The Conditional Use permit application process and approval criteria are described in Section 12.80.020. Certain Conditional Uses may have additional standards as described in Subchapter 12.40.
3.
Limited
Uses (L) are permitted by right, but are subject to specified requirements,
exceptions or restrictions which may vary with the nature, size, or
location of the use.
4.
Not
Permitted Uses (N) are not permitted in the zone under any circumstances.
E.
Accessory
Uses Permitted. Accessory uses are permitted in each zone, in conjunction
with the primary residence on the site and are subject to the same
regulations as the primary use unless stated otherwise in the Code.
Characteristics and standards for certain accessory uses are listed
in Subchapter 12.40.
F.
Development
Standards.
1.
Development standards for each single detached and middle housing residential zone are summarized in tables. Development standards are typically numerical standards: minimum and maximum densities; minimum and maximum lot dimensions; structural setbacks; maximum building height and lot coverage. All new development must comply with the development standards unless a variance or adjustment is approved as described in subsection G below.
2.
Maximum residential densities in each single detached and middle housing residential zone are generally derived from the minimum lot size: Minimum densities are approximately 80% of the maximum density. Density calculation formulas for minimum and maximum density are described in Section 12.50.120. Minimum and maximum residential densities apply to all residential use categories, except as specified for middle housing in the development standards for each zone.
3.
Certain
development standards are illustrated in a figure following the development
standards table in each zone.
G.
Variances and Adjustments. Applications to vary or adjust certain numeric standards in each zone may be requested and approved under Sections 12.80.152, 12.80.154, and 12.80.156. Certain numeric standards may also be subject to exceptions under specific circumstances, as described in the Standards section.
H.
Other
Pertinent Regulations. Additional standards such as parking, landscaping,
vision clearance, and street improvements, may also apply to development
in single detached and middle housing residential zones. These site
design and development standards may also have exceptions as described
in those sections.
