(1) Parking.

(a) Parking spaces required for a cottage housing development shall be 1.3 spaces for studio or one-bedroom units, 1.5 spaces for two-bedroom units, and 1.8 spaces for three-bedroom units.

(i) This provides for no less than one assigned space per unit plus extra spaces for visitors or second vehicles.

(ii) Since cottages are designed for small households, it is expected that only the larger units (3 BR) would require a second assigned space.

(iii) The parking requirement may be reduced to one space per unit if the location is within .3 miles (about 1,600 feet) of a public transit stop which has a.m. and p.m. peak headways of 30 minutes or less. Other parking requirements and reductions specified in Chapter 18.50 CMC shall apply.

(b) Parking and/or garage structures shall be located behind or to the side of the residential area and open space. When feasible they should be accessed from the back of the cottages.

(c) Parking areas and garages shall be screened from common space and public streets by landscaping or architectural screening.

(2) Shared Access and Connectivity.

(a) Whenever possible, shared access with adjacent properties shall be encouraged, and in some cases, it shall be required.

(b) The site shall be designed for future connectivity with adjacent lots. (Ord. 10-09 § 1 (Exh. A))
