single family development on the Conrad parcels,the City would be in danger of
selectively setting development standards for particular areas. He maintained
that this is a private property issue, saying that if a proposed development meets
the City's regulations, it should be allowed and not further restricted. Also,he
did not believe that the proposed expansion would change the character of the
neighborhood.
Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler replied that if any precedent is being set by the agreement
pertaining to the Conrad parcels, it is that a developer,the City,and affected
residents can work together to reach an agreement which is acceptable to all
interested parties.
Responding to Councilman Edwards,Mike Kattermann, Director of
Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning, said that any development agreement for
the Taco Time property would be the subject of a public hearing before the City
Council prior to its being approved.

B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommend that the Responsible Officials
make the following Environmental Determination:
DETERMINATION OF DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE NON-SIGNIFICANCE-MITIGATED.
X Issue DNS with 14 day Appeal Period. Issue DNS-M with 15 day Comment Period with
Concurrent 14 da A eal Period.
Issue DNS with 15 day Comment Period with Issue DNS-M with 15 day Comment Period followed
Concurrent 14 day Appeal Period. by a 14 day Appeal Period.
C. MITIGATION MEASURES
None proposed.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed
development?
1. Earth
Impacts: No impacts are anticipated from the non-project legislative proposal. At a site-specific level, erosion could
occur as a result of development allowed consistent with the proposed regulations,or alternate regulations analyzed.
Future site-specific proposals would be subject to the Tree Cutting and Land Clearing Regulations, Greenbelt
Regulations, Storm and Surface Water Regulations,Mining,Excavation and Grading Regulations, and Environmental
(SEPA)Ordinance,as applicable.
Mitigation Measures: None proposed.
Nexus: Non-applicable.
2, 7b Air and Noise
Impacts: No impacts are anticipated from the non-project legislative proposal. Future site-specific proposals may
cause air emissions or odors during construction and after occupancy,and may result in short-term construction noise
and increased traffic noise over the long-term. Future site specific developments would be subject to Environmental
(SEPA)regulations,Noise Level regulations,and Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Authority regulations where
applicable.
Mitigation Measures: None proposed.
Nexus: Non-applicable.
3. Water
Impacts: The proposal and alternate regulations reviewed in the SEPA checklist would increase lot coverage and
impervious surface allowances in the R-10 zone. Future site-specific development may result in additional
stormwater runoff. Future site-specific proposals would be subject to the Tree Cutting and Land Clearing
Regulations, Storm and Surface Water Regulations,Mining,Excavating,and Grading Regulations,Aquifer Protection
Regulations,and Environmental(SEPA)Ordinance,as applicable.

R-10 AND R-14 CODE AMENDMENTS LUA-98-168,ECF
REPORT AND DECISION OF(DECEMBER 15, 1998) Page3 of 4
Mitigation Measures: None proposed.
Nexus: Non-applicable.
14. Transportation
Impacts: In the R-10 zone, allowing for other styles of ownership such as condominium may result in additional use
of private streets/access. Currently the zone allows one structure per lot; the amendments propose that lot also means
another mechanism which creates individual title for the unit and any associated private yard (e.g. condominium).
The current Street Improvements code limits the use of private streets to serve 6 or fewer lots. Condominium
arrangements often have few parcels since much of their area is held in common. Allowing for condominium
ownership would not change the current public and private Street Improvement standards. Future developments
would be reviewed on a site-specific basis. Future developments would be subject to Parking and Loading
Regulations, Street Improvement Regulations, Transportation Concurrency Regulations, Environmental (SEPA)
Regulations, and others,as applicable.
Mitigation Measures: None proposed.
Nexus: Non-applicable.
15. Public Services
Impacts:
Dwelling Unit Increases
The code amendments implement Comprehensive Plan policies. The R-10 density bonus of 3 units,allowing a
maximum of 13 dwelling units per acre for 100%detached dwellings,was reviewed by the Environmental Review
Committee with the DNS for Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments, 98-T-1 through 98-T-9,May 19, 1998.
In terms of capacity estimates,the Comprehensive Plan and EIS assumed a maximum density of 12 units per acre in
the RO/R-10 designation since that was the maximum allowable density when the plan was being reviewed and
ultimately adopted. After 1995,the density was reduced to 10 units per acre when affordable housing bonuses were
removed. The adopted 1998 text amendments to the RO policies allows a density bonus of 3 du/acre for a maximum
density of 13 du/acre if all units are detached. Using the higher density in the remaining net available land designated
RO/R-10 would not significantly change the number of units projected by the Comprehensive Plan capacity model.
RO/R-10 CAPACITY CALCULATIONS
1993 NET 1993 TOTAL 1998 NET 1998 UNITS 1998 UNITS
AVAILABLE ACRES UNITS(@ 12 AVAILABLE @12 du/ac @ 13 du/ac
du/acre) ACRES'
28.26 339 22.37 268 291
Difference 23 (+8.5%)
The area of three approved/constructed R-10 projects(Hyde Park Condominiums,Village on Union,and Kirkland Court Preliminary Plat)have
been subtracted from the 1993 net available acres,resulting in the 1998 net available acres.
The small increase in expected dwelling units could slightly increase the demand for public services. No significant
impacts are anticipated. The Police Department indicates there will be minimal impacts to their services. Fire
Prevention indicated "no major impacts noted." No other comments have been received from City departments.

Access
In the R-10 zone, allowing for other styles of ownership such as condominium may result in additional use of private
streets/access which are allowed reduced pavement widths of 20 feet minimum.The amendments do indicate that
where other styles of ownership are proposed that there be"access and infrastructure to serve the development,
equivalent to those requirements established in the Subdivision Regulations." The R-10 amendments would not
change the current public and private Street Improvement standards. The minimum private street width accounts for
required fire lanes. Individual developments may warrant more review and potentially establishing project
conditions/mitigation greater than minimums or within ranges provided in City regulations depending on the
combination of site conditions,proposed unit type,proposed parking arrangement,and proposed access.
Future site-specific proposals would be subject to Environmental (SEPA) Ordinance, Uniform Fire Code, Street
Improvements Regulations, Parking and Loading Regulations, as well as requirements for mitigation fees, utility
requirements, and others as applicable.
Mitigation Measures: None proposed.
Nexus: Non-applicable.
E. COMMENTS OF REVIEWING DEPARTMENTS

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA),Chapter 43.21C RCW,requires all governmental agencies to consider the
environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)must be prepared
for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is
to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal(and to reduce or avoid impacts from
the proposal,if it can be done)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use
this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant,requiring preparation of an EIS.
Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known,or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,you should be able to
answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know
the answer,or if a question does not apply to your proposal,write"do not know"or"does not apply". Complete answers to the
questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations,such as zoning,shoreline,and landmark designations. Answer these
questions if you can. If you have problems,the governmental agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal,even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different
parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The
agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals,even though questions may be answered"does not apply." IN ADDITION,
complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(part D).
For nonproject actions(actions involving decisions on policies,plans and programs),the references in the checklist to the
words"project," "applicant,"and"property or site"should be read as"proposal," "proposer,"and"affected geographic area,"
respectively.

R-10 AND R-14 CODE AMENDMENTS-SUMMARY
To ensure the implementation of the recently approved Comprehensive Plan text amendments,to promote small lot
single family development,to provide consistent unit type terminology,and to remove code conflicts,the proposed
code amendments address the following:
Unit Type Definitions:
• Incorporate a definition system that classifies single family as traditional detached and semi-attached,and multi-
family as including townhomes and flats. This will allow a system based upon unit types. The categorization
will allow for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan capacity model approach.
R-10 Zone:
• The density bonus up to 13 units per acre for detached units is included. This bonus would be available directly
in the base zone. The key requirement is that the units be detached. Changes to lot size/width standards will help
achieve the allowable density and facilitate small lot development.
• Clarify unit types based on new defmition structure for single family and multi-family.
• Allow for condominium ownership by indicating that"legal lot"also includes other mechanisms which create
individual title for the residential building and any associated private yards.
• Delete the specific requirements for site plan review. Although deleted,the Site Plan Review regulations would
still require multi-family developments with more than four units to undergo the process. The subdivision
regulations will result in appropriate detailed review of detached and semi-attached units in subdivisions.
• Lot size and lot width standards for detached and semi-attached and townhouse have been revised.(See chart)
• Lot coverage and impervious surface are proposed to be increased.(See chart)
• Front and street side setbacks are proposed to be amended to 10 feet for primary structures. Zero lot line side
yard requirements for detached units are clarified to be 10 feet on the side of the property without zero setback.
Reduced interior side yards(5 feet)for attached structures are under consideration. Rear yard requirements
would remain at 20 feet,although a 15 foot rear yard requirement is under consideration.(See chart)

streets,not including driveways? If so,generally describe(indicate whether public or
private?
In the R-10 zone,allowing for other styles of ownership such as condominium may result in
additional use of private streets/access. Currently the zone allows one structure per lot;the
amendments propose that lot also means another mechanism which creates individual title for the
unit and any associated private yard(e.g. condominium). The current Street Improvements code
limits the use of private streets to serve 6 or fewer lots. Condominium arrangements often have
few parcels since much of their area is held in common. Allowing for condominium ownership
would not change the current public and private Street Improvement standards. Future
developments would be reviewed on a site-specific basis.

Dwelling Unit Increases
The code amendments implement Comprehensive Plan policies. The R-10 density bonus of 3
units,allowing a maximum of 13 dwelling units per acre for 100%detached dwellings,was
reviewed by the Environmental Review Committee with the DNS for Comprehensive Plan Text
Amendments, 98-T-1 through 98-T-9,May 19, 1998.
In terms of capacity estimates,the Comprehensive Plan and EIS assumed a maximum density of
12 units per acre in the RO/R-10 designation since that was the maximum allowable density
when the plan was being reviewed and ultimately adopted. After 1995,the density was reduced
to 10 units per acre when affordable housing bonuses were removed. The adopted 1998 text
amendments to the RO policies allows a density bonus of 3 du/acre for a maximum density of 13
du/acre if all units are detached. Using the higher density in the remaining net available land
designated RO/R-10 would not significantly change the number of units projected by the
Comprehensive Plan capacity model.

The area of three approved/constructed R-10 projects(Hyde Park Condominiums,Village on Union,and Kirkland Court Preliminary Plat)have
been subtracted from the 1993 net available acres,resulting in the 1998 net available acres.
The small increase in expected dwelling units could slightly increase the demand for public
services.
Access
Fire Department concerns include ensuring adequate access is provided for emergency vehicles
as well as development residents whether streets or access are public or private. In the R-10
zone,allowing for other styles of ownership such as condominium may result in additional use of
private streets/access which are allowed reduced pavement widths of 20 feet minimum.The
amendments do indicate that where other styles of ownership are proposed that there be"access
and infrastructure to serve the development,equivalent to those requirements established in the
Subdivision Regulations." The R-10 amendments would not change the current public and
private Street Improvement standards. The minimum private street width accounts for required
fire lanes. Individual developments may warrant more review and potentially establishing
project conditions/mitigation greater than minimums or within ranges provided in City
regulations depending on the combination of site conditions,proposed unit type,proposed
parking arrangement,and proposed access.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services,if any.
Future site-specific proposals would be subject to Environmental(SEPA)Ordinance,Uniform
Fire Code, Street Improvements Regulations,Parking and Loading Regulations,as well as
requirements for mitigation fees,utility requirements,and others as applicable.

location and site characteristics.
(b) Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish,or marine life are:
As applicable, site-specific proposals will be subject to environmental review, and the application
of RMC requirements regarding storm drainage, aquifer recharge protection, wetlands, land
clearing and tree cutting, landscaping, shoreline etc.
3. (a) How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposed amendments would not directly result in impacts to energy or natural resources, as
this proposed legislation would be a non-project action. At a site-specific level, new development
may result in impacts to energy or natural resources.
(b) Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
As applicable, site specific proposals will be subject to environmental review and Uniform
Building Code energy requirements.
4. (a) How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild
and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands,
floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The amendments would not change regulations protecting sensitive areas. Future site-specific
development may affect habitats, historic/cultural sites, wetlands, or floodplains depending on the
location of new residential development. There is little farmland in Renton.
(b) Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
As applicable, future site-specific development will be subject to environmental review, land
clearing and tree cutting regulations, aquifer protection regulations, wetland regulations, flood
hazard regulations, and others.
5. (a) How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use,including whether it would
allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?

• Environmental Checklist
The code amendments implement the Comprehensive Plan policies related to the density bonus,
forms of ownership. The amendments also provide greater consistency in unit type terminology, and
correct other code inconsistencies. On a site-specific basis new development will be reviewed for
consistency with land use and shoreline regulations.
(b) Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
Future site-specific development would be subject to subdivision regulations, zoning requirements
for setbacks,height,etc.,shoreline regulations,and environmental review,as applicable.
6. (a) How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services
and utilities?
With the R-10 density bonus,the small increase in expected dwelling units could slightly
increase the demand for public services. See page 11 for additional information.
Regarding access,Fire Department concerns include ensuring adequate access is provided for
emergency vehicles as well as development residents whether streets or access are public or
private. In the R-10 zone,allowing for other styles of ownership such as condominium may
result in additional use of private streets/access which are allowed reduced pavement widths of
20 feet minimum. The amendments do indicate that where other styles of ownership are
proposed that there be"access and infrastructure to serve the development,equivalent to those
requirements established in the Subdivision Regulations." The R-10 amendments would not
change the current public and private Street Improvement standards. The minimum private
street/access width accounts for required fire lanes. Individual developments may warrant more
review and potentially establishing project conditions/mitigation greater than minimums or
within ranges provided in City regulations depending on the combination of site conditions,
proposed unit type,proposed parking arrangement, and proposed access.
(b) Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are:
As applicable, future site-specific development will be subject to environmental review, as well
as any requirements for street improvements,parking and loading regulations,transportation
mitigation fees,fire mitigation fees,utility requirements,and Transportation Concurrency
regulations.
7. (a) Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposed action would not conflict with local, state or federal laws or requirements for the
protection of the environment.

R-10 AND R-14 CODE AMENDMENTS
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Demonstration Ordinances
The City Council approved two"demonstration"ordinances for residential projects in the R-10 and R-
24 (now R-14) zones: Village on Union and The Orchards. The intent has been to allow
demonstration projects in zones which have problem regulations and need modifications. The City
Council has discussed allowing one demonstration project per zone.
As a result of the demonstration projects and use of the zones for a period of time, some code
amendments are needed to promote small lot development in the R-10 zone, correct inconsistencies in
R-14 use conditions and terminology, and to ensure consistent terminology of dwelling unit types in
both the R-10 and R-14 zones.
Comprehensive Plan
In July 1998, Comprehensive Plan text amendments were approved, including a density bonus in the
Residential Options(RO)designation allowing a maximum of 13 du/acre provided all units are detached,
and clarifications of terminology between single family unit types and multi-family unit types in the RO
and Residential Planned Neighborhood (RPN) policies. Other amendments moved policies regarding
forms of ownership and street orientation into the General Policies since they are general ideas promoted
in both RO and RPN designations.
PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
To ensure the implementation of the recently approved Comprehensive Plan text amendments, to
promote small lot single family development, to provide consistent unit type terminology, and to
remove code conflicts,the proposed code amendments address the following:
Unit Type Definitions:
• Incorporate a definition system that classifies single family as traditional detached and
semi-attached, and multi-family as including townhomes and flats. This will allow a
system based upon unit types. The categorization will allow for consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan capacity model approach.
R-10 Zone:
• The density bonus up to 13 units per acre for detached units is included. This bonus
would be available directly in the base zone. The key requirement is that the units be
detached. Changes to lot size/width standards will help achieve the allowable density and
facilitate small lot development.
• Clarify unit types based on new definition structure for single family and multi-family.
• Allow for condominium ownership by indicating that "legal lot" also includes other
mechanisms which create individual title for the residential building and any associated
private yards.
PROPSUM.DOC\ 1
• Delete the specific requirements for site plan review. Although deleted, the Site Plan
Review regulations would still require multi-family developments with more than four
units to undergo the process. The subdivision regulations will result in appropriate
detailed review of detached and semi-attached units in subdivisions.
• Lot size and lot width standards for detached and semi-attached and townhouse have been
revised. (See chart)
• Lot coverage and impervious surface are proposed to be increased. (See chart)
• Front and street side setbacks are proposed to be amended to 10 feet for primary
structures. Zero lot line side yard requirements for detached units are clarified to be 10
feet on the side of the property without zero setback. Reduced interior side yards (5 feet)
for attached structures are under consideration. Rear yard requirements would remain at
20 feet, although a 15 foot rear yard requirement is under consideration. (See chart)

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 12, 1998
TO: Planning Commissioners
Q
FROM: Rebecca Lid(430-6588)
STAFF CONTACT: Lisa Grueter(430-6578)
SUBJECT: R-10 and R-14 Code Amendments •
BACKGROUND
Demonstration Ordinances
The City Council approved two "demonstration"ordinances for residential projects in the R-10 and R-24
(now R-14) zones: Village on Union and The Orchards. The intent has been to allow demonstration
projects in zones which have problem regulations and need modifications. The City Council has
discussed allowing one demonstration project per zone. Overall, the demonstration projects appear to be
providing innovative home ownership opportunities for the Renton community
The Village on Union fmal plat was approved in 1996 with 92 units. The development has 9 attached
townhouse units,but is primarily a small lot single family neighborhood. The overall density of the project
equals 13.32.' A follow-up interview was conducted with the developers of Village on Union (R-10 site)
regarding the demonstration ordinance process. The results of the interview, as well as staff analysis of
the project's success is provided under separate cover. It should be noted that the Village on Union
developers are considering expanding their development near 4th Street SE and Union Avenue with
additional single family units on small lots.
The Orchards project (sectors E, F, and G) final plat was approved in 1997, and has 63 detached and 59
attached ownership units. In part due to The Orchards demonstration project, the R-24 zone was
substantially revised and replaced with the R-14 zone.
At the time of the Village On Union preliminary plat review and approval in 1994/95, staff had not agreed
upon an interpretation of net density deductions. While roads were deducted,the area under powerlines was
not, which meant that the net density calculation concluded the development achieved 10 units per acre.
Using current net density calculation formulas which would exclude the power line easement that appears on
the Greenbelt map as well as roads, the original Village On Union,development area achieves 13.32 units
per net acre. Nov 18 199B

As a result of the demonstration projects and use of the zones for a period of time, some code
amendments are needed:
• As written now, the R-10 zone would not permit the Village on Union project, or a similar
project,in the areas of density, lot size, lot width and other standards. Based upon the staff's
Village on Union analysis, and related work underway to prepare Flexible Development
Regulations(replacing PUD regulations), amendments to the R-10 zone are needed to further
promote small lot single family development.
• As a result of preparing the Title IV reorganization which relies on a tabular format, staff has
noted some inconsistencies in R-14 use conditions and terminology which should be
addressed.
• Some refinements are needed to ensure consistent terminology of dwelling unit types in both
the R-10 and R-14 zones.
Comprehensive Plan
In July 1998,Comprehensive Plan text amendments,were approved,including:
Residential Options(RO)
• A density bonus allowance resulting in a maximum of 13 du/acre provided all units are
detached. The bonus helps avoid another demonstration ordinance in the future, and
provides an incentive for detached ownership units in the RO/R-10 designation, a use
strongly encouraged in the Comprehensive Plan
• Minor clarifications to terminology related to unit types allowed.
Residential Planned Neighborhood(RPN)
• Clarifications of terminology between single family unit types and multi-family unit
types. The amendments utilize language about primary and secondary residential unit
types which is the classification scheme from the R-14 code.
Policies for both RO and RPN
• Other amendments moved policies regarding forms of ownership and street orientation
into the General Policies since they are general ideas promoted in both RO and RPN
designations.
The approved policy amendments, in conjunction with the demonstration projects, are guiding the
preparation of implementing code amendments presented in this issue paper. The relevant Comprehensive
Plan policies are attached.
Task Force
A Flexible Development Regulations Task Force was informally organized to help develop and review
Flexible Development Regulations (still under preparation) and the proposed R-10 and R-14 code
amendments. Task Force participants include City staff from Strategic Planning, Development Services,
and Fire Prevention, two Planning Commissioners, Jeff Lukins and Rich Wagner, developers Fred
Armstrong, Parkwood Homes, Eric Evans, Centex, Dick Gilroy, Northward, Wayne Jones, Lakeridge,

Joe Strobele, Lincoln Properties, and Jack Willing, Northwest Commercial, and an engineer for Centex,
Jeff Cox with Triad. Comments were received in writing and at meetings.
ISSUES
Two key issue which should be considered when reviewing the proposed code amendments include:
• Should density bonuses, including the new R-10 density bonus, be included in the base zone, or
achievable only through the Flexible Development Regulations? This question was discussed with
the Task Force. Task Force participants suggested that the density bonuses be included with the base
zone standard, rather than only in the proposed Flexible Development Regulations under preparation.
It was felt that the Flexible Development Regulations will mostly be used for the development of
difficult parcels rather than properties with relatively few constraints, which should be allowed to be
developed with unit types promoted in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Flexible Development
Regulations process with its open space requirements and permit review process would be
disincentives to using the Flexible Development Regulations, and the City may not achieve all of its
objectives related to desired unit types. The Village on Union project is an example of the type of •
. development that is achievable at the R-10 density bonus level. The code should be amended to
provide incentives for small lot single family development.
• In the R-10 zone, allowing for other styles of ownership such as condominium may result in
additional use of private streets/access. Currently the zone allows one structure per lot; the
amendments propose that lot also means another mechanism which creates individual title for the unit
and any associated private yard (e.g. condominium). The current Street Improvements code limits
the use of private streets to serve 6 or fewer lots. Condominium arrangements often have few parcels
since much of their area is held in common. Allowing for condominium ownership would not change
the unit mix, unit type, density, or other related requirements that define the zone, and it would not
change the current public and private Street Improvement standards.
Many Task Force members indicated that condominium ownership should be an option. In relation
to the concern about potential greater use of private streets, a Task Force member commented that
public street design is what single family developments must overcome to appear pedestrian friendly
and marketable as a "neighborhood," and they can be counterproductive to aesthetics, affordability,
and environmental responsibility in terms of water runoff. On the other hand, the Fire Department
wants to ensure that adequate access is provided for emergency vehicles as well as development
residents. In any case, whether the access is public or private, it will need to meet the requirements
of the Street Improvements regulations to ensure adequate access.
R-10 AND R-14 CODE AMENDMENTS
To ensure the implementation of the recently approved Comprehensive Plan text amendments,to promote
small lot single family, to provide consistent unit type terminology, and to remove code conflicts, the
proposed code amendments address the following:
Unit Type Definitions:
• Incorporate a definition system that classifies single family as traditional detached and semi-
attached, and multi-family as including townhomes and flats. This will allow a system based
upon unit types. The categorization will allow for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
capacity model approach.

Page 4
R-10 Zone:
• The density bonus up to 13 units per acre for detached units is included. This bonus would
be available directly in the base zone. The key requirement is that the units be detached.
Changes to lot size/width standards will help achieve the allowable density and facilitate
small lot development.
• Clarify unit types based on new definition structure for single family and multi-family.
• Allow for condominium ownership by indicating that "legal lot" also includes other
mechanisms which create individual title for the residential building and any associated
private yards.
• Delete the specific requirements for site plan review. Although deleted,the Site Plan Review
regulations would still require multi-family developments with more than four units to
undergo the process. The subdivision regulations will result in appropriate detailed review of
detached and semi-attached units in subdivisions.
• Lot size and lot width standards for detached and semi-attached and townhouse have been
revised.
The minimum lot size for detached and semi-attached is proposed to be reduced from 4,500
to 3,000 square feet. By itself, the lot size would result in a density of 14.5, however, the
density cap of 10 (or 13 for 100% detached) will remain meaning that a proposal would not
be able to incorporate the 3,000 square foot lot size for all lots. The smaller lot size will
allow for more variability and flexibility in a zone where it has been demonstrated that small
lot detached housing has been successful(e.g.Village on Union included several lots at 3,060
square feet, and several at 3,640 square feet). Lot widths have been accordingly reduced to
30 feet as general standard, and 40 feet,applicable to corner lots.
The lot size and width for attached townhomes has been reduced from 3,250 square feet and
40/50 feet respectively to 2,000 and 20 feet. The current standards preclude the development
of typical townhomes, and make the goal of mixing housing types even more difficult. The
proposed standards are similar to attached interior units in the R-14 zone.
• Lot coverage and impervious surface allowances have been increased for detached or semi-
attached units. Small lot development results in a need for greater lot coverage and
impervious surface standards as demonstrated by the Village on Union proposal.
• Front and street side setbacks are proposed to be amended to 10 feet for primary structures.
Zero lot line side yard requirements are clarified to be 10 feet on the side of the property
without zero setback. No change is proposed t o the rear yard requirement of 20 feet.

RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS AND RESIDENTIAL PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD
General Policies
Objective LU-K: Create new planned residential neighborhoods in areas mapped as Residential Options
(RO) and Residential Planned Neighborhood (RPN) which include a variety of unit types designed to
incorporate features from both single family and multi-family developments, and to support cost efficient
housing, infill development,transit service,and the efficient use of urban services and infrastructure.
Policy LU-41. Provision of small lot single family detached unit types, townhouses and multi-family
structures compatible with a single family character should be encouraged provided that density standards
can be met.
Policy LU-42. A range and variety of lot sizes should be encouraged.
Policy LU-43. Central place public amenities should function as a focal point within the development
and should include features such as a public square, open space, park, civic or commercial uses. The
central place should include passive amenities such as benches and fountains, and be unified by a design
motif or common theme.
Policy LU-44. The dwelling types, including detached and attached units, should be clustered and
connected within the overall development through the organization of roads, blocks, yards, central places
and amenity features to create a neighborhood with diverse housing types.
Policy LU-45. Development should occur on a flexible grid street and pathway system to the extent
feasible given environmental constraints,traffic flow,and the pattern of existing development.
Policy LU-46. Condominium ownership may occur in any unit type.
Policy LU-47. Townhouse development should provide either condominium or fee simple
homeownership opportunities.
Policy LU-48. Buildings should front the street rather than be organized around interior courtyards or
parking areas.
Policy LU-49. Non-residential structures may have dimensions larger than residential structures but
should be compatible in design and dimensions with surrounding residential development.
Residential Options
Policy LU-50. Residential neighborhoods may be considered for the Residential Options Designation if
they meet three of the following criteria:
a. The area already has a mix of small scale multi-family units or had long standing duplex or low
density multi-family zoning;
b. Development patterns are established.
c. Vacant lots exist or parcels have redevelopment potential.
d. Few new roads or major utility upgrades will be needed with future development.
e. The site is located adjacent to a Center designation.
Policy LU-51. The net development densities should be 10 dwelling units per acre. If 100% of the
dwelling units are detached, a density bonus may be allowed to a maximum of 13 dwelling units per acre.
Policy LU-52. Minimum net development densities should be 7 dwelling units per acre.
November 12, 1998
Page 2
Policy LU-53. Detached single family housing, townhouses, and small scale multi-family units should
be allowed in Residential Options.
Policy LU-54. A maximum of 50% of units allowed within an individual RO development may consist
of attached units which includes townhouses,and small scale multi-family units.
Policy LU-55. Development in Residential Options should be compatible with existing development
patterns and be sensitive to unique features and differences among established neighborhoods.
Development standards should reflect single family neighborhood characteristics such as ground related
orientation,coordinated structural design,and private yards.
Policy LU-56. Non-residential structures, should be clustered and connected within the overall
development through the organization of roads,blocks, yards, other central features and amenity features
to create a neighborhood.
Residential Planned Neighborhood
Policy LU-57. Areas.may be mapped Residential Planned Neighborhood on the Land Use Map where
the site meets the following criteria:
a. adjacent to major arterial(s);
b. adjacent to employment area and/or Centers;
c. part of a designation totaling over 20 acres(acreage may be in separate ownership);
d. site is buffered from single family areas or other existing incompatible uses;and
e. development within the density and unit type range is achievable given environmental constraints.
Policy LU-58. Density in the Residential Planned Neighborhood designation should be in the range of 8
to 18 dwelling units per net acre.
Policy LU-59. A minimum of 50% of a project in the RPN designation should consist of the following
primary residential types: traditional detached, zero lot line detached, or townhouses with yards which
are designed to reflect a single family character.
Policy LU-60. Townhouse building clusters which qualify as a primary residential type should be limited
in size so that the mass and scale within the cluster retains a single family character. Limits on the
number of units which may be attached in one cluster should be established in the development
regulations.
Policy LU-61. Longer townhouse building clusters, and other multi-family building clusters, considered
secondary residential types, should be limited in size so that the mass and scale of the cluster retains a
small scale multi-family character rather than a garden apartment development style. Limits on the
number of units which may be attached in one cluster should be established in the development
regulations.
Policy LU-62. The mass and scale of secondary residential types pursuant to policy LU-61 should not
preclude their location adjacent to primary residential types.
Policy LU-63. Projects in a Residential Planned Neighborhood designation should have no more than
50% of the units designed as secondary residential types, i.e. longer townhouse building clusters, and
other multi-family buildings.
Policy LU-64 Development standards should reflect single family neighborhood characteristics and
access to public amenities and services.

November 12, 1998
Page 3
Policy LU-64.1 Development standards should reflect the following criteria.
a. heights, width and length of structures should be designed to resemble single family housing, with
similar setbacks from the street as single family;
b. parking should be encouraged in the rear or side yards or under the structure;
c. structures should be located on lots or arranged in a manner to appear like a platted development
to ensure adequate light and air, and views if any, are preserved between lots or structures;
d. buildings should be massed in a manner that promotes a pedestrian scale with a small
neighborhood feeling;
e. each dwelling unit should have an identifiable entrance and front on streets rather than courtyards
and parking lots.
f. fences may be constructed if they contribute to an open spacious feeling between units and
structures; and
g. streetscapes should include green, open space for each unit.
Policy LU-64.2 Mixed use development in the form of civic, convenience commercial development, or
other non-residential structures, may be allowed in the central places of development subject to
compliance with criteria established through development regulations.
