10-50.110.010 Purpose
This division provides illustrations, descriptions and standards for permitted building types, and specifies the transect zones in which they are allowed.
The purpose of these provisions is to ensure development that reinforces and compliments the existing character and architecture found in Flagstaff’s neighborhoods and downtown.
10-50.110.020 Applicability
A. The requirements of this division shall apply to all proposed development within the transect zones, and shall be considered in combination with the standards for the applicable zone in Chapter 10-40, Specific to Zones, and in the rest of this chapter.
B. The standards set forth in this division may also be used in the non-transect zones with Director approval.
C. Civic buildings shall not be subject to the physical requirements of the building type standards in this division.
10-50.110.030 Building Types Overview
This section provides an overview of allowed building types. The name of the building type is not intended to limit allowed uses within a specific building type. For example nonresidential uses (such as a restaurant or offices) may be located within a single-family house, and a commercial block building type may include non-commercial uses. Height regulations are primarily determined by the zone the building type resides within and are provided in Chapter 10-40, Specific to Zones. Specifics of how to measure building height are provided in Division 10-50.30, Building Height.
Table 10-50.110.030.A., Allowed Building Types, provides an overview of allowed building types.

A. Description |
|
|
|
The carriage house building type is an accessory structure or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) typically located at the rear of a lot (see also Section 10-40.60.030, Accessory Dwelling Units). This structure typically provides either a small residential unit, home office space, or other small commercial or service use that may be above a garage or at ground level. This building type is important for providing affordable housing opportunities and incubating small businesses within walkable neighborhoods. The carriage house building type is the only detached ADU allowed in transect zones. The windows and doors of the carriage house need to be carefully placed to ensure privacy for the property owner and neighbors. |

A. Description |
|
|
|
The bungalow court building type consists of a series of small, detached single-family residential structures on a single lot, providing multiple units arranged to define a shared court that is typically perpendicular to the street. The shared court takes the place of a private space and becomes an important community-enhancing element of this type. This type is appropriately scaled to fit within primarily single-family neighborhoods or medium-density neighborhoods. This type enables appropriately scaled, well-designed higher densities and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability. |

This type enables appropriately scaled, well-designed higher densities and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability. |

|
|
This duplex building type is a small to medium-sized structure that consists of two dwelling units, one on top of the other. This type has the appearance of a medium to large single-family home and is appropriately scaled to fit within primarily single-family neighborhoods or medium-density neighborhoods. This type enables appropriately scaled, well-designed higher densities and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability. This is the preferred type of duplex on 50-foot-wide lots in Flagstaff neighborhoods not zoned for single-family because it is capable of accommodating two units in a smaller footprint, thus maximizing compatibility in size and privacy to the rear of adjacent units. |

10-50.110.120 Stacked Triplex
|
A simple stacked triplex building.
The porch on the front and side of these stacked triplexes help to break down their mass. |
|
General Note: The photos on this page are illustrative, not regulatory. |
|
|
A. Description |
|
|
|
The stacked triplex building type is a medium-to-large-sized structure that consists of three dwelling units stacked on top of each other and typically with one shared entry. This type has the appearance of a medium to large single-family home and is appropriately scaled to fit in sparingly within primarily single-family neighborhoods or into medium-density neighborhoods. This type enables appropriately scaled, well-designed higher densities and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability. |

A. Description |
|
|
|
The townhouse building type is a small to medium-sized attached structure that consists of three or more dwelling units placed side by side. This type is typically located within medium-density neighborhoods or in a location that transitions from a primarily single-family neighborhood into a neighborhood main street. This type enables appropriately scaled, well-designed higher densities and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability. Syn: Rowhouse |

10-50.110.160 Live/Work
|
This live/work unit has a ground-floor flex space with a two-story residence above. The residence entry is to the far right, and the ground-floor flex space entry is on the corner. |
|
General Note: The drawings and photos on this page are illustrative, not regulatory. |
|
|
A. Description |
|
|
|
The live/work building type is a small to medium-sized attached or detached structure that can be used to provide a mix of uses with ground floor residential, commercial, service, or retail uses and upper floor commercial, service, or residential uses. Ground floor residential uses are not permitted unless permitted in the underlying transect zone. This type is typically located within medium-density neighborhoods or in a location that transitions from a neighborhood into a neighborhood main street. It is especially appropriate for incubating neighborhood-serving commercial uses and allowing neighborhood main streets to expand as the market demands. |
