1 Minimum lot size and dimensional requirements for recreational facilities shall be determined by the planning director, based upon the recreational performance standards contained in this code.
2 Minimum lot size and dimensional requirements for accessory buildings (not including accessory dwelling units) shall be the same as for the principal use to which these buildings are subordinate. For example, if a garage is built on a lot on which a single-family home is situated, the lot area, width and depth requirements for a single-family house must be met for the accessory building as well. See also SMC 17.25.100 and 17.25.110.
3 The maximum number of rooms per acre indicated in this table for bed and breakfast accommodations refers to the total number of rooms for rent that shall be allowed for any such use, in addition to the primary residence in the unit. Additional requirements related to bed and breakfast accommodations are contained in the nonresidential performance standards in this code.
4 For corner lots, one property line adjacent to a street shall be considered the front; the other shall be considered a side property line.
5 For corner lots, a minimum 15-foot setback shall apply to the street property line chosen to be the side.
6 See additional development standards in SMC 17.95.470 through 17.95.480.
7 See SMC 17.95.445 for PRD standards.
8 See SMC 17.95.450 for cottage housing standards.
