Analysis
This ordinance defines an “accessory dwelling unit” as “a room or set of rooms with its own cooking, sleeping and sanitary facilities which is located on the same lot as a single-family or 2-family dwelling and which is smaller in area than the main dwelling to which it is accessory.” The ordinance also classifies an accessory dwelling unit as a limited use in residential and commercial zoning districts, with the following limited use standards:
a. Only one accessory dwelling unit shall be located on the lot.
b. The lot shall contain a single-family or 2-family dwelling.
c. The creation of an accessory dwelling unit shall not result in the creation of a separate tax parcel.
d. The property owner shall reside in either the main dwelling or the accessory dwelling unit. This restriction shall be recorded on the deed for the property.
e. The accessory dwelling unit shall meet the design standards set forth in the code. These design standards relate to floor area, building height, setbacks, entrances, windows, exterior stairways, balconies and decks, and vary depending on whether the accessory dwelling unit is internal to the main dwelling unit, attached to it, or detached from it.
