A. Purpose. 1. The primary purpose of these provisions is:to establish a process which allows greater flexibility in the development of single-family detached and attached housing on lots which do not strictly conform to the development standards of chapters 19.24-19.27 and this title. For single-family attached and townhouse dwellings,the intent is to apply only those site development standards applicable to the parent site as a whole,rather than individual lot standards. For single-family detached dwellings,these standards are intended to provide flexibility for a development that is innovative and consistent with comprehensive plan policies promoting architectural compatibility with housing on adjacent properties,affordable housing,and owner-occupied housing types. 2. The secondary purpose of these provisions is to allow for the unit lot subdivision process to be applied to townhouse and single-family detached condominium developments for which,as of the effective date of this chapter,either: a. A condominium declaration and survey had been recorded pursuant to Chapter 64.34 RCW;or b. (i)A complete application for formal approval of a site development plan had been filed,and(ii)the recording of a condominium declaration and survey had been deferred in anticipation of the adoption of this chapter,and(iii)the application had accepted by the city and was still actively being processed by the city. B. Applicability. 1. Townhouse Unit Lot Development.The provisions of this chapter apply to the division of land for single- family attached dwelling developments in zones that allow this use.To use this process,a development shall have a minimum of two single-family attached units. 2.
