A one-family development is defined as a property, site or parcel that contains one dwelling unit (other than an accessory dwelling unit), where the primary dwelling unit is detached and/or separated from any adjacent dwelling unit other than an accessory dwelling unit. A property, site or parcel containing multiple detached single-family dwellings on the same lot shall also be considered a one-family development. 2. A multi-family development is defined as building(s) or structure(s) to house more than one household within separate dwelling units, including units having attached or shared walls. 3. A development project that has both one-family and multi-family units on the same lot shall be defined as a multi-family development. 4. In a development project that has both one-family and multi-family housing types, regulations applicable to one-family developments shall apply to the one-family housing types and regulations applicable to multi-family development shall apply to multi-family housing types, irrespective of whether those one-family or multi-family units are each located on their own lot or a common parcel. C. Subject to meeting the regulations of this section, accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units as defined in Chapter 18.08 shall be allowed on a parcel in the following quantities: 1. In one-family developments, both of the following are permitted: a. One accessory dwelling unit in addition to the primary residential unit. The accessory dwelling unit may be attached or detached and may be the result of new construction or existing space that is converted. b. One junior accessory dwelling. 2. In the multi-family developments, one of the following are permitted: a. Non-habitable portions of the existing main structure are permitted to be converted to an accessory dwelling unit. A minimum of one such accessory dwelling unit is permitted. The maximum number of such accessory dwelling units shall not exceed 25 percent of the existing multi-family dwelling units located within each multi- family structure. A fraction of 0.5 or more is rounded up and a fraction that is less than 0.5 is disregarded. In development projects that have both one-family and multi-family housing types, 25 percent shall apply only to the multi-family units, and any one-family units that are within a multi-family development but are on their own parcel are subject to regulations applicable to accessory dwelling units for one-family developments.
