Article IV. Supplemental Standards for Special Residential Uses
17.95.375 Supplemental standards for special residential uses.
(1) Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to set forth standards for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of both the community at large and the residents of a facility. These standards are supplementary regulations and are in addition to standards set forth elsewhere in this code.
(2) Special Residential Uses. Special residential uses include licensed group care homes, homeless shelters, emergency shelters, residential treatment facilities, recovery homes, or designated emergency shelters, except as limited in subsection (5) of this section.
(3) In addition to other applicable standards, no special residential development shall be located closer than 1,200 feet, measured from property lines, from another such facility. For the purpose of this subsection, a development shall be defined as a building or group of buildings on a single parcel of land. This provision is intended to prevent the creation of a de facto social service district.
(4) The following standards shall also apply to special residential uses:
(a) If the facility is located within a residential neighborhood, it shall be maintained to conform to the character of that neighborhood. This applies to design, density, lot size, landscaping, or other factors affecting the neighborhood character. This will prevent disruption of a neighborhood due to the introduction of a dissimilar structure.
(b) Only identification signs not exceeding two square feet in area denoting the name and/or purpose of a special residential use shall be allowed in a residential neighborhood. Such signs must be attached to the structure.
(c) Facilities located in nonresidential areas shall be maintained in the general character of the surrounding area. This applies to design, lot size, and landscaping affecting the character of the area.
(d) The total occupancy of a structure designed for special residential use shall be at least 100 square feet per occupant, or as provided by the city’s adopted building code, as hereafter amended. For homes on a local residential street, occupancy shall not exceed two clients per bedroom.
(5) Family daycare homes and group care facilities for handicapped persons or children that meet the definition of “family” in SMC 17.20.960 are not subject to the regulations in this section. These facilities are subject to SMC 17.95.380 and 17.95.382 and the use regulations of Chapters 17.30 through 17.79 SMC, similar to any single-family home, and without additional regulation beyond applicable state and federal requirements. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(4), 1995).
Article V. Supplemental Standards for Home Occupations
17.95.380 Supplemental standards for home occupations.
(1) Purpose. It is the intent of this section to allow for and to regulate the establishment of a home occupation in a residential neighborhood. It is also the intent of this section to regulate the operation of a home occupation so that residential neighbors will not be adversely impacted by its existence.
(2) Standards. A home occupation is allowable as an accessory use in a bona fide dwelling unit in any residential area. All provisions of this code pertaining to residential uses shall be met. In addition, all of the following standards shall apply:
(a) No outdoor display or storage of materials, goods, supplies, or equipment shall be allowed.
(b) There shall be no changes to the exterior of the building nor any visible evidence (including signage) that the residence also contains a home occupation.
(c) A home office use shall not generate nuisances such as on-street parking, noise, electrical interference, or hazards.
(d) There shall be no one residing outside of the immediate household employed in the home occupation.
(e) The maximum area devoted to a home occupation shall be 25 percent of the gross floor area of the dwelling unit, except for family daycare homes.
(3) Family daycare homes are also subject to the standards in SMC 17.95.382. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(5), 1995).
17.95.382 Standards for daycare facilities.

(5) Family daycare homes must provide proof that all adjoining neighbors have received written notice informing them of the provider’s intent to locate and maintain such a facility. Notification shall be made prior to state licensing and shall include a copy of city and state requirements regarding such facilities;
(6) Must apply for a city business license and obtain license concurrently with DSHS approval and state licensing;
(7) Conduct hours of operation that are compatible with the neighborhood;
(8) The city shall have access to dispute resolution through DSHS;
(9) Family daycare homes are considered home occupations as provided for in SMC 17.95.380. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 904, 1994. Formerly 5.28.010).
Article VI. Manufactured Housing
17.95.385 Purpose.
It is the purpose of SMC 17.95.385 through 17.95.415 to allow for and to regulate the use of manufactured housing in the city of Stanwood. Manufactured housing is important in the provision of low- and moderate-cost housing. Therefore, standards in SMC 17.95.385 through 17.95.415 are provided both to recognize the valid place of manufactured housing and to set forth necessary criteria on location and use of such housing. (Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6)(a), 1995).
17.95.390 Classifications of manufactured housing.
Manufactured homes are classified as follows for purposes of these standards:
(1) A manufactured housing unit is a single-family residence, transportable in one or more sections, which is designed to be used with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. After June 15, 1976, manufactured homes must be constructed in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements for manufactured housing, and bear the appropriate insignia indicating such compliance.
(2) Type A. New manufactured homes certified as meeting U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, or used manufactured homes certified as meeting the HUD standards specified above and found on inspection to be in excellent condition and safe and fit for residential occupancy.
(3) Type B. Used manufactured or mobile homes, whether or not certified as meeting prior HUD codes, found on inspection by the building official to be in excellent or good condition, as defined by the HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards. (Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6)(b), 1995).
17.95.395 Manufactured home parks.
(1) A manufactured home park is a parcel of land at least two acres in size in the SR 5.0 zoning district and three acres in size in the SR 7.0 district, under single ownership, on which six or more manufactured homes are occupied as residences.
(2) A manufactured home subdivision is designed and/or intended for the sale of lots for residential occupancy by manufactured homes. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6)(c), 1995).
17.95.400 Standards for manufactured housing.
Manufactured housing classified in SMC 17.95.390 is an allowable dwelling unit type in those zoning districts in which single-family residential land uses are permitted. Such housing is subject to the building code and all standards in this code that apply to residential land uses, including the subdivision regulations contained in this code. Additionally, all manufactured housing shall be installed on permanent foundations before an occupancy permit is issued. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6)(d), 1995).
17.95.405 Standards for Type A manufactured homes.
Type A manufactured homes are allowed in any manufactured home park as defined in SMC 17.95.395 or on their own individual lots as a single-family home. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6)(e), 1995).
17.95.410 Standards for Type B manufactured homes.
Type B manufactured or mobile homes are allowed only in a manufactured home park. A Type B manufactured or mobile home to be moved to a new location must meet the following standards:
(1) Approval from the community development department to relocate shall be obtained.
(2) Upon inspection by the building official, the Type B manufactured or mobile home shall be found to be in excellent or good condition prior to the move. Criteria for determining condition shall be the same as those applied to housing inspections. After moving or relocation of the Type B manufactured or mobile home, a second inspection shall be required to verify that the manufactured or mobile home remains in no less than good condition. An occupancy permit shall not be issued until such conditions are met. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6)(f), 1995).
17.95.415 Standards for manufactured home parks.
A manufactured home park shall be allowed where all applicable standards of this code are met. In addition, the following standards shall apply:
(1) A manufactured home park is allowed in the SR 7.0 and SR 5.0 zoning districts. A manufactured home park shall not exceed the densities established for single-family detached residential uses within the district proposed for the development.
(2) The following are site design standards for a manufactured home park:
(a) The minimum land area shall be three acres in the SR 7.0 district, and two acres in the SR 5.0 zoning district.
(b) Every manufactured home shall be located at least eight feet from any internal abutting street.
(c) The minimum distance between a manufactured home (including allowable accessory buildings) and an adjacent manufactured home (including accessory buildings) shall be 15 feet. This distance shall be measured at the narrowest space between structures, whether they be the living units or accessory buildings (e.g., carport, storage building).
(d) All standards included in the subdivision regulations contained in this code with regard to utilities, streets, and sidewalks shall apply to the design and development of a manufactured home park. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(6) (g), 1995).
Article VII. Standards for Infill Development in Residential Areas
17.95.420 Standards for infill in residential areas.
Repealed by Ord. 1109. (Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(7), 1995).
Article VIII. Planned Residential Development
17.95.425 General.
With strict limitations for yards and other open spaces, some imaginative developments that could prove beneficial to the city would not be constructed. Planned residential developments (PRDs) allow for innovation in development and quality use of required open space while still meeting the same overall density requirements for the zoning district.
The zoning code does provide that a PRD may be located in residential zoning districts as provided by SMC 17.95.445, if certain conditions and requirements are met. Since this is a matter of importance to residents of these districts, it is required that planned residential developments be permitted only after a public meeting by the planning commission and a public hearing by the hearing examiner. Recommendations, issues, concerns, etc., identified by the planning commission shall be brought forth to the hearing examiner in the staff report prepared by the planning director. (Ord. 1170 § 1, 2005; Ord. 1084 § 3, 2000; Ord. 1074 § 2, 1999; Ord. 1004, 1997; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(8)(a), 1995).
17.95.430 Purpose and intent.
PRDs, as permitted in this article, are intended to provide some opportunity for variety and creative or unique design arrangements and relationship of dwelling units and land. To ensure that a PRD conforms to the character and nature of the district in which it is located, achieves a maximum of coordination with surrounding land uses, and encourages the most appropriate use of land within the PRD, specific and additional standards are hereby established. (Ord. 1074 § 2, 1999; Ord. 1004, 1997; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(8)(b), 1995).
17.95.435 Tract requirements.
Repealed by Ord. 1170. (Ord. 1074 § 2, 1999; Ord. 1004, 1997; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A) (8)(c), 1995).
17.95.437 Minimum street frontage for lots.
All lots in a PRD must have a minimum street frontage of 35 feet. Up to 10 percent of PRD lots may have a minimum frontage of 20 feet; provided, that no more than two adjacent lots may utilize this reduction. Panhandles shall not be counted toward minimum lot size calculations. (Ord. 1170 § 3, 2005; Ord. 1074 § 2, 1999).
17.95.440 Permitted uses.
Only single-family residential detached dwelling units, accessory structures, and necessary utilities are permitted in PRDs. (Ord. 1170 § 4, 2005; Ord.
1074 § 2, 1999; Ord. 1004, 1997; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(8)(d), 1995).

17.95.455 Street standards.
PRDs shall be subject to the city’s public works standards, with the following exceptions:
(1) All PRDs shall provide through-streets to streets. Cul-de-sacs, hammerheads, and other dead-ends shall not be permitted.
(2) Cottage PRDs may propose alternate street sections for approval by the public works director.
(3) The public works director may require provisions for future connections to adjoining developments. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004).
17.95.460 Open space and common public space.
At least 10 percent of the gross land area of a planned residential development shall be dedicated as common public space other than required public improvements or private streets, stormwater conveyances, landscape strips, or critical areas or their buffers, by deeding to the city of Stanwood; shall be reserved by a covenant in favor of the government, or by a grant of a permanent easement. Such lands shall be set aside in perpetuity for the use of residents of the development, or shall be deeded to a homeowners’ association by written instrument. If a conveyance to a homeowners’ association is the instrument selected, the landowners shall so organize said conveyance that it may not be dissolved, nor dispose of the open space by sale or other means (except to an organization conceived and established to own and maintain it).
(1) All streams, wetlands, geologically sensitive areas, and any associated buffers shall be preserved as open space, and reserved in separate tracts (Native Growth Protection Areas), as provided by the city’s sensitive area ordinances. Such land may not be counted toward meeting the 10 percent common public space requirement stipulated in this section.
(2) Any area to be dedicated for common public space shall be so located and of such a shape as to be acceptable to the planning director. In determining the acceptability of proposed common space, the planning director shall consider future city needs and may require a portion of the common space to be designated as the site of a potential future public use; provided, however, that not more than 25 percent of the gross area shall be taken for public buildings. In the event that it is deemed necessary to set aside any portion of the site for public buildings, an agreement shall be entered into between the applicant and the city of Stanwood. This shall apply to the need for land for any public purpose except for public recreation. No occupancy permit shall be granted until the negotiations for the land have been completed to the satisfaction of the applicant and the city.
(3) All common public space area shall be graded and seeded or paved by the developer during the course of construction, unless the planning director approves or directs the maintaining of all or a portion of such open space in its natural state or with minor, specified improvements. Required or proposed improvements shall either be provided during construction or bonded for prior to final plat approval.
(4) All off-street parking areas shall be transferred to the ownership of a homeowners’ association for maintenance and repairs. Wherever median grass strips or other landscaped areas are proposed that will be visible to the general public within the development, covenants and/or agreements shall provide for the maintenance of such areas by the homeowners’ association.
(5) No single area of less than one acre in size shall be dedicated as common public space, unless, due to special conditions that are peculiar to the particular parcel of land or to the public purpose for which the land is to be used, dedication of a smaller area is authorized by the planning director.
(6) Common public space areas may be used as park, playground, or recreation areas, including swimming pools, equestrian, pedestrian, and/or bicycle trails, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, basketball courts, and similar facilities; woodland conservation areas; or any similar use of benefit to the residents of the development if in the ownership of a homeowners’ association or the city, or if dedicated to and accepted by the appropriate department of the city, and deemed appropriate by the planning director.
(7) At a minimum, common public space shall contain a minimum of one park bench, one garbage container, and five trees for every 20,000 square feet of common space or portion thereof. Existing trees are encouraged to be retained when addressing this requirement.
(8) Each lot shall be located within a 1,200-foot walking distance of common public space and shall be provided access to the common public space via pedestrian walkways, paths, or sidewalks. (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(8)(h), 1995).
17.95.465 Application procedure.
A site plan and subdivision map of the proposed planned residential development shall be submitted to the planning director in accordance with the procedures for a major permit application, as stated in the administration chapter (Chapter 17.80 SMC) of this code. Such documents shall include all information required in said major permit application, an indication of the areas to be used for dwelling units, specifying type and showing the proposed arrangement of buildings, parking, fencing, landscaping, and other improvements on each lot and all open space. Typical elevations of proposed buildings shall be submitted. The anticipated schedule of development shall also be indicated and a written statement from the landowner, setting forth the reasons why, in his/her opinion, the development would be in the public interest and would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the adopted Comprehensive Plan of the city. A sketch plan of sufficient detail to show the proposed intent shall be submitted informally for discussion prior to formal application for approval. The application shall be accompanied by a copy of proposed articles of incorporation of any homeowners’ association, a copy of a study indicating the feasibility of proposals for the provision of public water and public sewer, and copies of any grants of easements or other restrictions proposed to be imposed on the use of the land.
Following the submission of said application to the planning director, the review, public hearings, and disposition process as set forth in this code for major and minor permits shall be followed. (Ord. 929 Ch. 10(A)(8)(i), 1995).
Article IX. Accessory Dwelling Units
17.95.470 Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this section is to encourage the development of affordable housing and infill development by allowing accessory dwelling units where appropriate and estab-
