The purposes of this Chapter are to:

1. Provide requirements, guidelines, and incentives for the construction of affordable housing for low-income and moderate-income households in Midway City within large-scale subdivisions;
2. Implement the affordable housing goals, policies, and objectives contained in the Midway City General Plan;
3. Promote the opportunity of affordable housing for residents and workers in Midway City and Wasatch County;
4. Maintain a balanced community that provides and integrates housing for people of all income levels and family sizes; and
5. Implement planning for affordable housing as required by Utah Code.

1. An Inclusionary Zoning Lot is an incentive or “bonus” lot that is designed to encourage the production of moderate income housing. Inclusionary zoning lots are smaller than other lots built within the subdivision, smaller than the minimum standards of the zone, and have a lesser amount of frontage than normally required. Inclusionary zoning lots may be created voluntarily by developers to promote affordable housing. Inclusionary Zoning Lots will not reduce the allowable number of standard lots nor reduce the open space requirements within a subdivision. The minimum sizes and frontage for the standard lots as required by the zoning within a subdivision will be proportionally reduced by the space used by the Inclusionary Zoning Lots, on the following terms: The applicant may receive a density lot bonus of up to five percent of the number of standard lots allowed by the zoning for the subdivision, provided that the minimum number of lots required in a subdivision to receive the density bonus is twenty. (Twenty lots produces one bonus lot, forty lots produces two bonus lots, etc.) To ensure that that the reduction of square footage in the standard lots is spread over the development, yet also to leave some flexibility to the design of the subdivision, the reduction must be limited in any one standard lot to no more than two times the average square footage reduction from the size required per standard lot, unless specifically approved otherwise by the Midway City Council.
2. Regardless of the zoning or the type of units contained on the standard lots within a subdivision, Inclusionary Zoning Lots in a subdivision shall contain only single-family homes.
3. The minimum lot sizes and setbacks for dwellings on an Inclusionary Zoning Lot are as follows:
   
   60 feet of frontage
   
   Side setbacks: 10 feet and 15 feet
   
   Front setback: 25 feet
   
   Rear setback: 20 feet
   
   In zones R-1-11, R-1-15, R-1-22, and RA-1-43 lots shall be at least 40% less in size than the minimum required for the zone in which the lot is located but cannot be less than 6,000 square feet.
   
   In the R-1-9 zone, lots shall not be larger than 6,500 square feet and shall not be less than 6,000 square feet in size.
   
   In the R-1-7 zone, lots shall be 6,000 square feet in size.
