units including twin, atrium, weak-link and townhouse types. The unit type
permitted and open space standards are specified in Section

D. Cluster. Single-family residential uses that

one or more of the following housing types: single-family, single-family lot
line, village houses, duplex houses, patio houses, atrium houses, z-lots,
townhouses of several types, multiplexes and apartments. Such developments shall
be planned as a unit and shall meet all the open space standards in Section
17.40.110(A). Note that some districts may exclude the multifamily
types;
F. Apartments. This use permits only apartments and multiplexes. This
use differs from subsection E above in that higher densities are permitted that
cannot be reached with a mixed use project;
G. Mobile Home. A movable or
portable housing structure larger than forty feet in body length, eight feet in
width or eleven feet in overall height, designed for and occupied by no more
than one family for living and sleeping purposes but does not include structures
built to the standards of any municipal building code and other technical
codes;
H. Mobile Home Park. A parcel of land divided into two or more mobile
home lots for lease or sale. This use also includes a parcel of land divided
into two or more mobile home lots for sale;
I. Commercial Apartment. One to
four dwelling units located above, along side, or to the rear of a
nonresidential structure on the same lot;
J. Group Home. A building that
would otherwise be categorized as a single-family home, except that the number
of unrelated individuals living in the unit do not qualify under the definition
of family. If the unit would otherwise qualify as other types of dwelling units
defined in this title, such as apartment or attached housing, then the use shall
be treated as such. The operation of a group home shall be a family living
environment, not an institutional environment where staff manages the living and
controls activities. Co-op, other institutional residential, and boarding house
type operations are expressly excluded since these uses are institutional or
commercial lodging uses. (Ord. 1495-96 § 3(part), 1996).
