§ 16.20.010.3. Permitted uses.

Uses in these districts shall be allowed as provided in the Matrix: Use Permissions and Parking Requirements.

16.20.010.3.1. Preservation of single-family character.

NT districts are primarily single-family in character. While some NT districts allow accessory units or limited neighborhood-scale mixed uses, the character and context along the street should reinforce the pattern of a traditional single-family neighborhood. Generally, duplex and multifamily buildings are prohibited. Some multifamily uses are existing and grandfathered.

16.20.010.3.2. Grandfathered units. (See use matrix.)

Multifamily units were built in many traditional neighborhoods to accommodate the winter tourist industry in the first half of the 20th Century. These units provide a diversity of housing stock which enriches the neighborhood and provides lifecycle housing. Renovation and revitalization of these units can create a highly desirable amenity within the neighborhood and is an ideal way of providing workforce-housing units. Restoration of these resources is desirable over replacement. Special approval may be required to redevelop these uses as established by the process in the application and procedures section. Replacement construction should be consistent with the development pattern and architectural context of the neighborhood.
