A. | The converted housing type is a permitted use in the underlying zone. |
B. | With the exception of minimum parking requirements, the conversion does not create a nonconforming use or increase nonconformance with applicable development or design standards. |
C. | With the exception of conversions to cottage clusters, middle housing conversions are exempt from additional residential design standards found in Article 16.4 of this title. |
D. | Separate utility connections are provided or available for the additional unit(s), either on the side or front of the house. |
Such changes may include minor shifting of the location of buildings, setbacks, proposed streets, public or private ways, utility easements, recreation facilities, public open spaces, etc. For quantifiable changes, a general threshold of 10% shall be used in determining if a proposed change is minor in nature. For example, 10% of a required yard, 10% of lot size, etc. |
