CHAPTER 17.08, Definitions -- (Continuation from 2/27)
Efficiency Dwellin& Unit
Surber reported efficiency dwelling units (EDUs) are generally tiny homes that differ
from accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in that they are the primary structure, not accessory to a
residence. McMahan indicated this is a more precise definition from a tiny single family
dwelling. The definition of ED Us has been included because the Comp Plan policy that allows
for alternative housing types includes them. Use tables do not list zones where EDUs are
permitted.
Consensus: Allow EDUs in R-I, R-ll, and R-ID Zones
Floor ~rea
Checked by Jan Zimmer. This is to Enarson's satisfaction, and she withdrew her
objection.
Surber pointed out different terms: floor area, floor area ratio, floor area usable, gross
floor area. Codes are being researched to see how the terms are being used to make sure the
definition is correct. Surber said as a minimum, gross floor area should be included.
Foster :Homes
Consensus: Allow in all residential districts.
