Ordinance 2322-98 - Laserfiche WebLink

(1) Multiple family dwellings are permitted only in a mixed use building in which at least 25% of the gross floor area is devoted to a permitted non-residential use, or at least 90% of the street frontage of the ground floor is devoted to retail use. (2) 1 dwelling per 1,500 square feet in the area located east of Interstate 5 and south of 100th Street SE. (3) No maximum density requirement in the area identified by Map No. 15-1. B. Fractional Number of Dwelling Units. In determining the number of dwellings allowed in a single family attached or multiple-family development, the lot area is divided by the number of square feet this Title requires per dwelling unit. When this computation results in a fraction, the number is rounded down to the next whole number, except that when this computation results in a fraction which equals .5 or larger on lots which contain a minimum of 5,000 square feet, the number is rounded up to the next whole number, provided all other requirements of this Title can be met. C. Land Dedicated for Transit Facilities. The land area dedicated for public transit bus pullouts or passenger shelters shall be included in the area of the lot from which the land was dedicated for purposes of calculating permitted number of dwelling units in multiple-family developments. D. Senior Citizen Housing Density. The number of dwelling units allowed in multiple family developments devoted exclusively to senior citizen housing shall be ten(10) percent greater than the number of dwelling units allowed by the underlying zoning, as stated in Subsection A of this Section. is hereby amended to read as follows: 15.020 Calculation of permitted number of dwelling units. The intent of this section is to implement the Everett Comprehensive Plan by regulating the permitted density of multiple family housing in various zone districts. A. Density Standards. The maximum number of multiple family dwelling units permitted in each zone shall be as provided by the density standard listed in Table #15-1. The total lot area is divided by the density standard indicated below to determine the permitted maximum number of dwellings on the lot. See Section 37.190.0 for lots with environmentally sensitive areas. Compliance with other requirements of this Title or other City development standards, such as Environmentally Sensitive Area regulations or surface water requirements, may have the effect of reducing the total number of dwellings that can be built on a site. Achievable density may also be limited by site size, configuration and project design. A project applicant may not be able to achieve the full number of dwelling units that is permitted by the density standards of this Section.
