Three off-street parking spaces shall be provided for the principal and accessory <br /> dwelling units. When the property abuts an alley, the off-street parking space for the <br /> accessory dwelling unit shall gain access from the alley, unless topography makes such <br /> access impossible. <br /> 7. The single-family appearance and character of the dwelling shall be maintained <br /> when viewed from the surrounding neighborhood. Only one entrance to the residential <br /> structure may be located on any street side of the structure, provided that this limitation <br /> shall not affect the eligibility of a residential structure which has more than one entrance <br /> on the front or street side on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter. <br /> 8. Only one electric and one water meter shall be allowed for the entire building, <br /> serving both the principal and accessory dwelling unit. <br /> 9.

The owner of a single-family dwelling with an accessory dwelling unit shall file an <br /> owner's certificate of occupancy in a form acceptable to the city attorney no later than <br /> April 1st of each year. Any person who falsely certifies that he or she resides in a dwelling <br /> unit at the stated address to satisfy the requirements of this section shall be subject to the <br /> violation and penalty provisions of Section 41.030 of this title. <br /> 11. A permit for an accessory dwelling unit shall not be transferable to any lot other <br /> than the lot described in the application. <br /> 12. In addition to the conditions which may be imposed by the planning director <br /> through Review Process IIB, all accessory dwelling units shall also be subject to the <br /> condition that such a permit shall automatically expire whenever: <br /> a. The accessory dwelling unit is substantially altered and is thus no longer in <br /> conformance with the plans approved by both the planning director and the <br /> building official; <br /> b. The subject lot ceases to maintain at least three off-street parking spaces; <br /> or <br /> c. The applicant ceases to own or reside in either the principal or the <br /> accessory dwelling unit. <br /> 13. The applicant shall provide a covenant in a form acceptable to the city attorney and <br /> suitable for recording with the county auditor, providing notice to future owners or long- <br /> term lessors of the subject lot that the existence of the accessory dwelling unit is <br /> predicated upon the occupancy of either the accessory dwelling unit or the principal <br /> dwelling by the person to whom the accessory dwelling unit permit has been issued. The <br /> covenant shall also require any owner of the property to notify a prospective buyer of the <br /> limitations of this section and to provide for the removal of improvements added to <br /> convert the premises to an accessory dwelling unit and the restoration of the site to a <br /> single-family dwelling in the event that any condition of approval is violated <br />
