20.30 - Common Interest Subdivisions#
20.30.010 - Applicability#
Common Interest Subdivisions provide for ownership of separate units as well as interest in commonly owned areas that are managed and maintained by a homeowners' association. As further described in the definitions section, Common Interest Subdivisions include the following:
A. Airspace Condominium (residential zones), and
B. Planned Unit Development.
(ORD-23-0051 § 1(Exh. A), 2023)
20.30.020 - Purpose#
Common Interest Subdivisions allow for the creative use of project sites to lay out development to address physical site constraints and cluster residential units in more creative and functional fashions. They are often employed to create small lot subdivisions which provide for many of the amenities of traditional residential subdivisions, but allow for more efficient use of sites, and net more workforce units that are affordable to those first entering the housing market. These types of common interest projects run the gamut from smaller infill sites to larger development projects with more common spaces and shared facilities.
(ORD-23-0051 § 1(Exh. A), 2023)
20.30.030 - Property development standards for airspace condominiums#
Within Airspace Condominium projects, property development standards, including (but not limited to) density, yards, and coverage, shall apply with respect to the exterior boundary lines (property lines) of the proposed subdivision and not to individual dwelling units within the project.§ Area outside of units is owned and maintained by a homeowners' association. Density may be averaged over the entire site§, and separation between units is not governed by the Zoning Regulations yard requirements§. Units may be attached or detached or even stacked. Each unit must meet the private open space requirements§, and a common open space must be provided on site§. Typically, the map consists of one common lot with a condominium plan identifying the outline of each unit.
(ORD-23-0051 § 1(Exh. A), 2023)
20.30.040 - Property development standards for planned unit developments#
Planned Unit Developments create small fee simple lots. Within Planned Unit Development subdivisions, property development standards shall apply to each lot within the project unless different standards are approved through the Planned Unit Development zoning process§ (Section 21.31.300 of the Zoning Regulations).
(ORD-23-0051 § 1(Exh. A), 2023)
20.30.050 - Property improvement standards for common interest subdivisions#
A. Common open space, recreation facilities and driveways may be contained within easements or a commonly owned separate lot.§
B. Common interest subdivisions must provide a method of common area maintenance by means of an association or agreement.§
(ORD-23-0051 § 1(Exh. A), 2023)
20.30.060 - Application requirements for common interest subdivisions#
In addition to application submittal requirements for Tentative Maps provided in Chapter 20.12, the following additional information is required to complete an application submittal:
A. Common interest subdivisions are subject to the City's Site Plan Review process and require a separate application for Site Plan Review.§ In summary, a development plan that includes the following information will be required:
-
A site plan with proposed building footprints with property boundaries. All dimensions shall be clearly labeled.
-
Proposed building elevations with dimensions and floor plans.
-
A grading and site drainage plan.
-
Parking stalls, driveways and associated public improvements shall be provided and clearly dimensioned.
-
A list of property statistics, including any proposed exceptions, shall be provided on the plans. The statistics shall identify how the project complies with relevant property development standards.
-
A landscape plan.
-
Commonly owned parcels or easements and methods of maintenance (association) shall be clearly identified on the plans.
