Supplemental Standards

Parking design standards dictate a fairly rigid placement of parking and the driveway, either at grade or submerged. If at grade, building placement is somewhat dictated over parking spaces.

The dwelling units shall be oriented on the side of the lot which will cause the least impact to adjacent properties as determined by the Planning Director or his/her designated representative.

No garage or carport, the entrance of which faces any property line, shall be situated closer to such property line than eighteen feet or such greater distance as needed for accessibility.

Window or wall projections into side yards shall be set back at least five feet from either side property line. Chimneys may protrude no more than two feet into the side yard.

Orientation of outdoor living areas should be away from neighboring bedroom areas to promote privacy. Landscaping shall be implemented to screen views from the street and neighboring properties.

Balconies or outdoor living areas shall be screened to promote privacy and to reduce the visual impact of outdoor storage to neighboring properties and public rights-of-way (i.e., balcony railings shall be solid or semisolid, or balconies should be thoroughly screened/obscured by landscaping).

Off-street parking as regulated in the parking requirements chapter of this title (Chapter 18.140).

Open Space. A minimum amount of open space per dwelling unit shall be required as provided for in Section 18.116.160.

A trash and recycling enclosure or other appropriate waste provision shall be provided in an easily accessible location, sufficient to meet the demands of the size of development and shall be architecturally consistent with the building.

Residential Accessory Structures. The height of a residential accessory structure shall adhere to the requirements as outlined in Section 18.116.125.

The proposed project shall include bicycle storage for one bicycle per unit.
