The general purposes of the cottage housing development design standards are as follows: A. A cottage housing development is an alternative type of detached housing providing small residences for households ef typieally eiie te twe iii&vidttals. Cottage housing is provided as part of the city's overall housing strategy which intends to encourage affordability, innovation and variety in housing design and site development while ensuring compatibility with existing neighborhoods, and to promote a variety of housing choices to meet the needs of a population diverse in age, income, household composition and individual needs. B. The cottage housing development design standards contained in this section are intended to create a small community of cottages oriented around open space that is pedestrian - oriented and minimizes the visibility of off-street parking. These design standards are intended to ensure that cottage housing developments include pedestrian amenities and take advantage of existing natural features on the site including topography and vegetation. The cottage housing development design standards are intended to maintain traditional cottage amenities and proportions and ensure that cottage housing developments contribute to the overall community character. Because there may be alternative designs that meet the objectives of the design standards, Chapter 17.46 PTMC provides an alternative design review process to consider other acceptable ways to accomplish the objectives of this section. C. Cottage housing may allow higher residential density than is normally allowed in the underlying zone district. This increased density is possible through the use of smaller than average home sizes, clustered parking, and site design standards. L— D. All cottage housing developments are subject to current city stormwater standards and shall incorporate stormwater low impact development techniques whenever possible. 17 Exhibit N 1.7.34.030 Cottage housing density table 17.34.030 Density, number of cottage housing units and minimum lot area. A. In cottage housing developments the permitted densities shall be as follows: Zoning District R -I Low Density R -II Medium R -III Medium Residential Density Density Single -Family Multifamily Maximum Cottage 1 cottage dwelling 1 cottage dwelling 1 cottage dw Ming Density unit per 5,000 sf unit per 1-2,500 sf unit per 1 0ilk7 sf Minimum number of cottages subject to zoning base density 24 34 4 requirements Maximum number of cottages per cottage housing 8 12 14 development Minimum lot size i r r a +e++&ge 1-20,000 sf 4-85,000 sf � 077t100 sf 18 Number: 1 Author: Emma Bolin Date: 3/20/2023 9:30:00 PM Scrivener's Error fix to ensure 2 is struck.

Exhibit Q 1.7. 4.1. 0 Cottage yards/setbacks 17.34.120 Yards - Building setbacks from exterior lot lines. A. Objective. Exterior lot line building setbacks in cottage housing developments are based upon setbacks in the R -II zoning district. These yard setbacks are appropriate based upon the allowed density of cottage housing as well as the small size of the structures. Flexible setbacks are allowed per the discretion of the PCD and public works directors to obtain improved site design and to avoid impacting existing physical features on the site such as trees. 1. Front yard and street side yard on corner lots shall be 10 feet: a. Exception: The PCD director in consultation with the public works director may authorize the setback averaging from the public right-of-way. In such cases the setback average shall be 10 feet and at no point less than five feet where the location of all structures, landscaping and other improvements will not conflict with future improvements in the right-of-way. Fences may not be placed in the right-of-way and are subject to Chapter ll ;x.68 PTMC. 2. Rear Yard Building Setback. The minimum rear yard shall be 548 feet, tifil ss ++_- - an alley, then the ffliniffitiffi sethaek shall be fiN,e 3. Side Yard Building Setback - Interior Lot Lines. The minimum side yard setback shall be five feet for interior lot lines. 21 Exhibit R :J1.7. 4.:J1.40 Cottage Open Space 17.34.140 Common open space. A. Objective. Open space that is commonly owned by all members of a cottage housing development is an important feature of any site design. It is intended that the open space be adequately sized and centrally located epene. 1. Common Open Space. A minimum of 400 square feet per cottage unit of common open space is required. Parking areas, yard setbacks, spaces between buildings of 10 feet or less in width, private open space, and driveways do not qualify as common open space. 2. Proximity to Common Open Space. a. At least 50 percent of the cottage units shall abut a common open space, all of the cottage units shall be within 60 feet walking distance measured from the nearest entrance of the cottage along the shortest safe walking route to the nearest point of the common open space. The common open space shall have cottages abutting at least two sides. b. For the purposes of cottage housing, "common open space" shall be the central space that may be used by all occupants of the cottage complex. `*a Exhibit S :J1.7. 4.:J1.50 Cottage Private Open Space 17.34.150 Private open space. A. Objective. Each residential unit in a cottage housing development shall be provided an area of private open space. The private open space shall : p ,-„ to the fflain _n,.-„ ne„ ±e the eeff ge ffeffl the eeffiffien epen spa to create a sense of privacy and shall be oriented to take advantage of solar orientation and other natural features to create a small but pleasant private yard area. The private open space may be separated from the common open space with a small hedge, picket fence, or other similar visual separation to create a sense of separate ownership. 1. Each cottage unit shall be provided with a minimum of 200 square feet of usable private open space 2. No dimension of the private open space shall be less than eight feet. 23 Exhibit T :J1.7. 4.:J1.80 Cottage Parking 17.34.180 Off-street parking. A. Objective. Off-street parking space requirements for cottage housing developments shall be less than normally required for detached single-family residences. These reduced standards are based upon the cottages being smaller than average detached single-family homes and on average containing fewer occupants. Off-street parking shall be located and designed to be less visible from frontage streets than the cottages themselves. Off-street parking shall be designed to maintain a pedestrian character for the overall cottage housing development. Clustering parking to the side or rear of a cottage project will most often best accomplish these goals. However, on a site-specific basis, design solutions other than clustering may be found to meet this objective through the alternative design process. Parking areas shall be attractively landscaped to screen parking from adjacent properties and street rights-of-way and shall meet applicable parking lot landscape standards. 2. Off -Street Parking Location. Parking shall be located on the cottage housing development property. Off-street parking lots shall be located to the side or rear of the cottage housing development (see illustrations below). Subject to the site design administrative review approval process, parking mU be adjacent to cottage units. Parking lots shall not be located between the cottage housing development and the primary street frontage. 24 a. Off -Street Parking Screening. Off-street parking may be located in or under a noncottage parking structure (such as a single or multi -auto carport or garage), but such structures shall not be attached to individual cottages. Uncovered parking is also permitted; provided, that off-street parking shall be screened from direct street view from one or more street facades by garage doors, or by a fence and landscaping. b. Preferred locations for parking, in descending order of preference, are as follows: i. To the rear of cottage ley parMng spaces, ............... . ..... .. . . . ......... Sftet units accessed by an alley. ii. To the side of the cottage housing units access by a private driveway. MaJoftOng Us W iii. Parking on the side (nonprimary street) screened from the side street by either garage doors, landscaping, and/or fencing.

Exhibit U Cottage Noise, heat pump 17.34.190 Exterior lighting and heating/cooling equipment noise. A. Objective. Cottage housing developments should be designed to minimize light and noise impacts both within the development and to adjacent properties. 1. Where provided, exterior lighting shall be mounted as low as possible, pointed downward, and the light source shall be shielded from direct observation from above, adjacent properties, and public rights-of-way. Lighting "spillover" to adjacent properties shall be avoided. 2. Heating (and cooling, if applicable) equipment for cottage housing developments shall be designed to cause little or no noise impacts within the development and to adjacent properties. `V Exhibit V Cottage Separation 'A' N 111111 1 ft. RIMINI III Exhibit W Grattage Ownership 17.34.210 Ownership and residential use of cottages. A. All cottage housing developments shall be developed utilizing the procedures of Ch 18.22 Unit Lot Subdivisions or Chapter 18.20 PTMC, Binding Site Plans, except that an association, cooperative or other similar ownership technique may be substituted for the requirement of residential condominiums. Appropriate documentation of formal legal ownership of the development shall be recorded with the Jefferson County auditor's office. 28 Exhibit X 1.7. 4. 0 Grattage site design alternative 17.34.220 Alternative site design.

This chapter is established to provide an alternative to the traditional method of land division for creating sellable lots for townhouse and cottage housing developments. The unit lot subdivision (ULS)process provides opportunities for fee -simple ownership of land. Unit lot subdivisions allow development on individual unit lots to avoid complying with typical dimensional standards if the parent lot conforms to all such development standards. 18.22.015 Scope A. The provisions of this section apply exclusively to the unit lot subdivision of land for townhouse, cottage housing or tiny house community developments in zones where such uses are allowed. 40 B. As allowed by this chapter, development on individual unit lots within the unit lot subdivision need not conform to the minimum lot area or dimensional standards of Title 17 Zoning Code, provided that overall development of the parent parcel meets the development and design standards of the underlying and the requirements of this section. There shall be no minimum required lot area for individual lots within a unit lot subdivision, provided that the area of the unit lot shall be large enough to contain the dwelling unit and any accessory structures, decks, fences, garages, driveways, private yard areas, parking, landscaping or other improvements that are accessory to the dwelling unit; provided further, so long as conforming to the approved site development plan, such accessory improvements may encroach upon or be located in an adjoining unit lot or common area pursuant to an appropriate easement. C. Overall development of the parent lot shall meet the development and design standards of the underlying land use district. D. Access easements, joint use and maintenance agreements, and covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) identifyingthe he rights and responsibilities of property owners and/or the homeowners' association must be executed for use and maintenance of common garage, parking and vehicle access areas; underground utilities; stormwater treatment and/or detention facilities; common open space; exterior building facades and roofs; and other similar features, must be recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor. E. Within the parent lot, required parking for a dwelling unit may be provided on a different unit lot than the lot with the dwelling unit, as long as the right to use the parking is formalized by an easement recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor. 18.22.020 Application. To be considered complete, the application for a unit lot subdivision shall include the following; A. The application for approval of a unit lot subdivision shall be submitted on forms to be provided by the department along with the appropriate fees; B.
