City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 46, Code of Ordinances, by allowing Single -
Agenda Caption: Family Detached Dwelling Units in the Two -Family Zoning District. (First Reading)
Meeting Date: March 10, 2011
Department: Planning and Community Development
Staff Person making presentation: Peter Wysocki
Planning and Community Development Director
Item Summary:
This amendment to the Zoning Code permits the location of single family detached structures in the TF (Two Family)
zoning district, so long as the lot size, setbacks and other development standards of the SF -2 (Single Family —
Standard Lot) are met.
When the Zoning Code was revised on June 10, 2002, the TF (Two Family) district was revised to allow only two-
family (duplex) structures. Previously, single family detached structures were allowed. Approximately one-third of
the subdivisions currently zoned as TF (Two Family) contain some single family detached structures. The exclusion
of single family structures from the TF district was part of an update to the zoning code which eliminated cumulative
or pyramid style districts, in which all lower intensity uses were allowed in higher intensity districts. It was not done
in response to specific problems or issues with single family structures in the TF district.
The exclusion of single family detached structures from the TF (Two Family) zoning district creates a non -conforming
situation for the existing single family detached structures, which complicates the financing and resale of the homes.
This issue was brought to the Planning Department's attention by a realtor involved in a home resale in one of the
affected neighborhoods. Given that there are other similar non -conforming single family structures within TF zoning
districts, staff believes that this zoning text amendment is appropriate. Upon review of the amendment, City
engineering staff determined that there would be no impact on City utilities.
This amendment does not affect single family zoning districts and two family structures are not allowed in single
family districts.
