Sec. 2.1.3. Additional Housing Patterns

  1. Cottage Court (See Sec. 2.6.1.)
    A cottage court is a group of small detached houses, tiny houses, attached houses or townhouses (two-unit maximum per building) sharing a common courtyard. The central courtyard enhances the character of the area through the provision of consolidated open space. A cottage court may be developed on individual lots or with a common form of ownership.
  2. Detached House Conversions (See Sec. 2.6.2.)
    A detached house addition is when an existing detached structure is expanded and converted into an attached building or apartment building. Additional regulations are required for these conversions.
  3. Accessory Dwelling (See Sec. 2.6.3.)
    The Accessory Dwelling housing pattern provides for the development of one accessory dwelling unit on a lot with an existing Detached House or Tiny House as an accessory use to a principal use of Single-unit Living or on a lot with an existing Attached House or Tiny House as an accessory use to a principal use of Two-unit Living.
  4. Flag Lot
    A Flag Lot is an irregularly shaped property with a narrow portion of land fronting on a street where no buildings are permitted that provides access to a larger portion of the lot where buildings are permitted. The creation of a flag lot typically results in an adjacent residual lot with greater frontage along the same street. Flag lots promote efficient use of land for residences. In exchange for some alternative minimum dimensional standards, only Tiny Houses are permitted on flag lots. ADUs are not permitted on flag lots.
