Division 15 — ROWHOUSE DEVELOPMENT

SEC. 36.16.20. - Rowhouse development. ¶

Rowhouse developments are permitted within the R2 and R3 districts through the planned unit development (PUD) process (Section 36.46.70). This process allows consideration of creation of rowhouse developments provided that the total density (dwelling units per acre) of the project is equal to or less than the allowed density of the applicable zone district. Through the PUD process, the development is reviewed as a whole for consistency with the general purpose of the applicable zone district and the requirements and guidelines of this section.
