§ 16.50.010.5.1. Lot requirements.

A.

Establishment of a new accessory dwelling unit shall only be allowed if:

1.

The lot area shall be at least 5,800 square feet.

2.

If the lot is below the current minimum lot area requirements for the zoning district, the original platted lot or lawfully established lot of record has not been subdivided and remains under common ownership;

3.

If the accessory dwelling unit is detached and the legal front and rear of the lot are consistent with the front and rear yards of lots on the same block face. An attached accessory dwelling unit shall not be permitted where lots have been refaced such that the legal front yards face a different direction than the rest of the lots in the block or where refacing has eliminated alley access for a lot.

B.

A lot containing an accessory dwelling unit shall not be subdivided to separate the accessory dwelling unit from the principal use, unless such division can meet all applicable standards of the zoning district and land development regulations.
