(1) Maximum Density -Dwelling Unit/Acre.
(a) The maximum density for R-12, R-18, R-28, WR-R-4-8 and WR-R-6-18 zones
may be achieved only through the application of residential density incentive
provisions outlined in Chapter 22C.090 MMC.
(b) The maximum net density for the single-family zones is the same as the base
density; provided, that for PRD developments the maximum density may be
increased by up to 20 percent through the application of residential density incentive
provisions outlined in Chapter 22C.090 MMC.
(2) The minimum lot sizes for duplexes apply to lots or parcels which existed on or before the
effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter. All new duplex lots created through the
subdivision or short subdivision process shall be a minimum of 7,200 square feet in size, must
include a "duplex disclosure," and comply with the density requirements of the comprehensive
plan (six units per acre for the R-4.5 zone and eight units per acre for the R-6.5, R-8, and WR-R-
4-8 zones).
(3) These standards may be modified under the provisions for zero lot line and townhome
developments.
(4) Base Height.
(a) Height limits may be increased when portions of the structure which exceed the
base height limit provide one additional foot of street and interior setback beyond the
required setback for each foot above the base height limit; provided, that the
maximum height may not exceed 60 feet.
(b) Multiple-family developments, located outside of Planning Area 1, abutting or
adjacent to areas zoned as single-family, or areas identified in the comprehensive
plan as single-family, may have no more floors than the adjacent single-family
dwellings, when single-family is the predominant adjacent land use.
(5) Applies to Each Individual Lot.
(a) The higher percentages of impervious surface coverage apply to complete
land use applications submitted on or after the effective date of Ordinance
adopted , 2017: provided, however, in the case of
approved development applications that have not yet started construction, an
applicant may file for a minor revision to the approved land use application in
accordance with MMC 22G.010.260.
Cb) Building coverage and impervious surface area standards for:
illfa-1 Regional uses shall be established at the time of permit review; or
.llilfbt Nonresidential uses in residential zones shall comply with MMC
22C.010.250.
(6) Density -Dwelling Unit/Acre.
(a) The densities listed for the single-family zones (R-4.5, R-6.5, R-8) and single-
family development in the Whiskey Ridge zones (WR-R-4-8, WR-R-6-18) are
maximum net densities.
(b) Mobile home parks shall be allowed a maximum density of eight dwelling units
per acre, unless located in the R-4.5 or R-6.5 zones, in which case they are limited
to the density of the underlying zone.
(7) The standards of the R-4.5 zone shall apply if a lot is less than 15,000 square feet in area.
(8) On a case-by-case basis, the street setback may be reduced to 10 feet; provided, that at least
20 linear feet of driveway are provided between any garage, carport, or other fenced parking area
and the street property line, or the lot takes access from an alley. The linear distance shall be
measured in a straight line from the nearest point of the garage, carport or fenced area to the
access point at the street property line. In the case of platted lots, no more than two consecutive
lots may be reduced to 10 feet.
(9) Residences shall have a setback of at least 50 feet from any property line if adjoining an
agricultural zone either within or outside the city limits.
(10) For townhomes or apartment developments, the setback shall be the greater of:
(a) Twenty feet along any property line abutting R-4.5 through R-8, and WR-R-4-8
zones; or
(b) The average setback of the R-4.5 through R-8 zoned and platted single-family
detached dwelling units from the common property line separating said dwelling units
from the adjacent townhome or apartment development, provided the requ ired
setback applied to said development shall not exceed 60 feet. The setback shall be
measured from said property line to the closest point of each single-family detached
dwelling unit, excluding projections allowed per MMC 22C.010.210 and accessory
structures existing at the time the townhome or apartment development receives
approval by the city.
(11) Townhome setbacks are reduced to zero on an interior side yard setback where the un its have

(12) Townhome setbacks are reduced to five feet on side yard setbacks provided the buildings
meet a 10-foot separation between structures.
(13) Single-family detached units on individual lots within the R-12 through R-28, and WR-R-6-18
zones shall utilize the dimensional requirements of the R-8 zone, except the base density.
(14) Provided that the front yard setback shall be established as the point at which the lot meets
the minimum width requirements. On a case-by-case basis, the street setback may be reduced to
the minimum of 20 feet; provided, that the portion of the structure closest to the street is part of
the "living area," to avoid having the garage become the predominant feature on the lot.
(15) Subject to MMC 22A.020.130, subsection (l)(a) of the definition of "lot lines."
(16) Required landscaping setbacks for developments on the north side of Soper Hill Road are 25
feet from the edge of sidewalk.
(17) Projects with split zoning (two or more distinct land use zones) may propose a master site
plan to density average at the zone edge or modify the zone boundaries using topography, access,
critical areas, or other site characteristics in order to provide a more effective transition between
land uses and zones. Approval is at the discretion of the community development director.
( 18) In order to accommodate a daylight basement or garage, the base height for the principal
dwelling may be increased to 35 feet on lots with a 10 percent or greater slope within the building's
footprint.

(1) Covenant and Duration. An agreement in a form approved by the city must be recorded on the
property requiring affordable dwelling units which are provided under the provisions of this section
to remain as affordable housing for the life of the project. The agreement shall also specify aspects
of renter and/or buyer eligibility, rent and/or sales price levels and requirements for reporting to
the city or authorized housing agency and shall be recorded at final approval. This agreement shall
be a covenant running with the land, binding on the assigns, heirs and successors of the applicant.

affordable housing costs and occupied by lo·..,. income households, as defined in
subsection (2)(b) of this section. This applies to both rental and ownership projects.
(b) For the purposes of this chapter, "affordable housing" is defined as rental or
ownership housing having total housing costs, including basic utilities and any
common charges and/or maintenance fees, that do not exceed 30 percent of the
designated income limit for the housing unit.
(c) Rental Housing Unit. Affordable rental units shall be permanently priced and

mvnership units shall be limited to owner occupied housing, with prices restricted to
same income group, based on current unden ... riting ratios and other lending
standards.
