Parkersburg City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 1369

Accessory Dwellings

1369.01 GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) Purpose and Intent. It is the purpose of th is article to reduce the barriers that prevent homeowners from building accessory dwellings. Accessory dwellings benefit the City of Parkersburg by increasing the supply of affordable housing, enhancing job opportunities by providing housing closer to employment centers and public transportation, providing homeowners with extra income to better meet rising homeownership costs, and by creating a convenient living arrangement that allows family members or other persons to provide care and support for someone in a semi-independent living situation without having to leave their community.

(b) Definitions.

(1) Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) - "Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)" means a residential living unit located either on the same parcel as the principal residence of the property owner or on an abutting parcel that was previously used only as yard for said principal dwelling and may not be sold or transferred separate from the principal dwelling lot. An ADU provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. An ADU can be a fully detached unit, a unit that is part of a larger accessory structure such as a detached garage, or a unit that is part of an expanded or remodeled principal dwelling.

(2) Principal Residence - "Principal Residence" means a dwelling which serves as the primary residence for the homeowner for a majority of the time during a year.

(c) Zoning. An accessory dwelling located on the parcel in which the principal residence of the property owner is located or situated on an abutting parcel that was previously used only as yard for the principal residence of the property owner and cannot be sold or transferred without the transfer of the principal dwelling lot, is categorized as an 'accessory permitted use' within all R-Districts and B-Districts throughout the City of Parkersburg.

(d) Additional Accessory Dwellings. Any additional accessory dwelling is categorized as an 'accessory conditional use' and requires authorization by the Board of Zoning Appeals, after a finding that such accessory use meets the requirements and conditions specified in Section 1347.02(e) provided further that any accessory conditional use shall meet the requirements and conditions specified in Section 1329.05(b).

(Ord. 0-1712. Passed 8-23-22.)

1369.02 STANDARDS.

(a) Minimum Lot Size. Accessory dwellings may be constructed on any lot within the allowed districts regardless of if the lot size of the parcel is conforming or non-conforming. Attached and internal accessory dwelling units may be built on any lot with an existing single-family dwelling including those that are nonconforming, provided the accessory dwelling would not increase the nonconformity of the residential use with respect to building height, bulk, or lot coverage.

(b) Manufactured and Modular Dwelling Units. A manufactured or modular dwelling unit may be used as an accessory dwelling unit in any zone in which accessory dwelling units are permitted provided that the manufactured or modular dwelling unit complies with all other requirements.

(c) Lot Coverage Limits and Size. An accessory dwelling unit (detached, attached, or built by expanding the footprint of an existing dwelling) on a lot of 4,000 square feet or larger shall not occupy more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total lot area. For single family lots of less than 4,000 square feet, the combined lot coverage of the principal dwelling and the accessory dwelling shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the total lot area provided that all other requirements are met. Additionally, the total square footage of any accessory dwelling must be less than that of the principal dwelling.

(d) Accessory Dwelling Unit Setbacks.

(1) Side yard setbacks - if located in the rear yard (past the existing principal dwelling), the setback requirement is three (3) feet for each side yard. If located in the side yard, the District regulations will apply.

(2) Rear yard - when located in the rear yard, the setback is five (5) feet from the rear property line. If located in the side yard, the District regulations will apply.

(3) Any accessory dwelling in any district when not located in the rear yard shall be located ten (10) feet beyond the required front yard setback established in the District regulations.

(e) Accessory Dwelling Unit Height Limit. The maximum height of an accessory dwelling is twenty-five (25) feet or the height of the principal residence, based on the highest point of its roof compared with the lowest point of ground level at the foundation, whichever is less.

(f) Orientation of Entrance. The authorization and location of access doors and stairs for detached and attached accessory dwellings are the same as for principal dwellings within any R-District and B- District.

(g) Parking Requirements. No additional off-street parking is required for the construction or addition of an accessory dwelling unit to a property provided that all other requirements have been met. However, if the construction of the accessory unit necessitates the removal of an existing off-street parking space it must be replaced on-site if required by the Zoning District in which the property is located.

(h) Short-Term Rentals. Accessory dwelling units shall comply with all short-term rental regulations established for the Zoning District in which the dwelling is located.

(i) Separate Sale of an Accessory Dwelling. An accessory dwelling shall not be sold or transferred independent of the principal dwelling unit for which it serves as an accessory structure.

(j) Owner Occupancy Standards.

(1) An accessory dwelling unit is permitted only when such dwelling is serving as an accessory structure to the principal residence of the property owner.

(2) In the case that a property owner uses more than one property as a residence, the determination of the property owner's principal residence depends upon all facts and circumstances. If a property owner alternates between multiple properties, using each as a residence for successive periods of time, the property that the property owner uses a majority of the time during the year will be considered the property owner's principal residence. Additional factors used to determine a property owner's principal residence include, but are not limited to:

A. The owner's place of employment;

B. The principal place of abode of the property owner's family members;

C. The address listed on the owner's state and federal tax returns, photo identification, automobile registration, and voter registration;

D. The property owner's mailing address for bills and correspondence; and

E. The location of the property owner's banks.

(Ord. 0-1712. Passed 8-23-22.)

1369.03 BUILDING CODES AND UTILITY CONNECTIONS.

(a) Building Codes. Accessory dwelling units shall be subject to the same code review process as all other residential structures within the City and detailed in Part 17, Chapters 1, 3, and 5 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Parkersburg, West Virginia.

(b) Utility Connections. New or separate water and sewer lines connecting directly between the accessory dwelling unit and main lines are not required unless the accessory dwelling is constructed before or in conjunction with a new single-family dwelling, however all accessory structure utility lines must be connected to the main lines prior to any sale or transfer of the accessory structure to any neighboring property owner. All metering requirements will be determined by the Parkersburg Utility Board.

(Ord. 0-1712. Passed 8-23-22.)

1369.04 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT APPLICATION AND REVIEW PROCEDURES.

(a) Application and Review Procedures. A property owner will be required to submit a building permit and zoning application for their accessory dwelling unit when:

(1) The property owner has planned for the construction of a new accessory dwelling unit on their lot

(2) The property owner has planned to convert an existing portion of a structure on their property into an accessory dwelling

(3) The property owner has planned any renovation, repair, or expansion to an existing accessory dwelling unit that would otherwise require a building permit

(b) Appeals. Appeals to the Board of Zoning Appeals may be made by any property owner pursuant to Section 1329.03 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Parkersburg, West Virginia. (Ord. 0-1712. Passed 8-23-22.)

APPENDIX B Group Housing Projects

(a) Purpose and Scope. It is the purpose of the Regulations for Group Housing Projects to allow greater flexibility in planning projects of the group type by releasing them from the yard requirements in effect for single structures on single lots, but at the same time to assure that such developments will have enough open space for light, air, recreation and pedestrian circulation, adequate street capacity for vehicular circulation and access, sufficient off-street parking space and other amenities.

(Ord. A-2530. Passed 2-27-73.)

(b) Definition. "Group Housing Project" means a group of two or more multi-family dwellings on a parcel of ground not less than 50,000 square feet in area in single or multiple ownership with not less than fifty feet of frontage on a public street, which frontage shall serve as the principal means of access to the property, and with at least fifty feet of such access in open, continuous frontage unobstructed by buildings to a depth not less than 100 feet. (Ord. A-2761. Passed 8-27-74.)

(1) Density.

A. Minimum lot area per dwelling unit. The minimum lot area per dwelling unit shall be 2,500 square feet.

B. Conditions applicable to the density calculation.

1. In a Group Housing Project, all land proposed within the project for residential use, including outdoor use space, interior streets and other circulation ways, may be counted as part of the lot area in complying with the density requirement.

2. A Group Housing Project shall be considered as one parcel, regardless of the extent to which the parcel is subdivided by interior streets.

3. If a Group Housing Project parcel is cut by a zoning district boundary line, the density provisions of the district in which each portion of a Group Housing Project is located shall apply unless a plan is approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals permitting a different distribution of dwelling units, except that the total number of dwelling units shall not exceed the number resulting from adding together the number permitted in each district.

(2) Vehicular access.

A. Total dwelling units in relation to paved widths of exterior streets serving the project: the maximum number of dwelling units in any Group Housing Project, as determined by the density limitations hereinafter specified, shall be further controlled by the cumulative number of units gaining vehicular access to exterior public streets serving the project at any one point of entry, in accordance with the following standards.

Cumulative Number of Dwelling Units at Any One Point of Entry	Minimum Paved Width for Boundary Street or Other Exterior Street (feet)
less than 20	20
20 to 99	24
100 to 499	36
500 to 999	44

B. Distance of residential structures from vehicular access and public streets: every residential structure in a Group Housing Project shall be within 200 feet of vehicular access and within 400 feet of a public street. For the purposes of this section, vehicular access means any of the following:

1. A walkway intended primarily for pedestrian use, but so designed as to be usable for vehicular traffic in case of emergency or special service, and having a paved width of no less than nine feet.

2. A paved parking area and any access drive thereto, the latter having a paved width of no less than twelve feet in the case of a single-lane drive and no less than eighteen feet in the case of a two-lane drive.

3. A street, as defined in the Subdivision Regulations.

C. Interior Streets: in cases where a Group Housing Project is to have interior streets, their paved widths shall be in accordance with the design standards contained in the Subdivision Regulations.

(3) Open space, setbacks and courts.

B. Open space.

1. Principal buildings.

a. General: Around every principal building there shall be a minimum required open space, unobstructed by any other building, which shall be provided in an amount and manner hereinafter specified.

b. Overlapping of open space: The open space allocated to any principal building may overlap the open space allocated to any other principal building.

c. Required open space:

(i) There shall be an open space for each story, measured at right angles to each side of, and outside of, the rectangle of least area within which the principal building could be enclosed at each story.

(ii) Opposite one longer side of such enclosing rectangle, the open space in its least dimensions shall be not less than sixty feet, which minimum shall be increased at the rate of five feet per story for a building height in excess of two stories and at the rate of one foot for each five feet by which the rectangle exceeds sixty feet, except as provided for setbacks from street lines.

(iii) When the enclosing rectangle is a square, any one of its sides may be considered as the one longer side.

(iv) Opposite each of the three sides other than the one longer side of the enclosing rectangle, open space in its least dimension shall be not less than thirty feet, which minimum shall be increased at the rate of two and one-half feet per story for a building height in excess of two stories and at the rate of one foot for each ten feet by which the length of the rectangle exceeds sixty feet, except as provided for setbacks from street lines.

(v) Where the controls specified in paragraphs (i) through (iv) above do not apply, no building shall be closer than twelve feet to any other building.

d. Credits toward required open space:

(i) The area of any open space between the side of the enclosing rectangle and the wall of the building may be credited toward the area of the required open space outside such enclosing rectangle, and abutting the same side of the rectangle.

(ii) Such credit shall be made by reducing one dimension of the required open space outside the enclosing rectangle, measured perpendicularly between the side of such rectangle and the building wall, the least amount possible for such area reduction, provided that the reduced dimension shall in no case be less than one-half that originally required, or thirty feet, whichever is greater.

2. Accessory buildings. No accessory building shall encroach upon any open space required for any principal building.

C. Setbacks from property lines other than street lines:

1. Principal buildings.

a. The minimum distance between the property line and the nearest side of the rectangle of least area enclosing any principal building may be taken as an average, provided that the minimum distance at either end of the side of the rectangle shall in no case be less than one-half that originally required, or thirty feet, whichever is greater.

b. The minimum distance required because of the length of the side of the enclosing rectangle of least area shall be based on the length of the side of the enclosing rectangle most nearly parallel to the property line.

2. Accessory buildings. The minimum distance between a property line other than a street line and an accessory building shall be ten feet, which minimum shall be increased at the rate of five feet per story for a building height in excess of one story and at the rate of two feet for each five feet by which the length of the building exceeds twenty-five feet, provided that in no case need the setback exceed thirty feet.

D. Setbacks from street lines.

1. Principal buildings.

a. The minimum distance between a street line and the nearest side of the rectangle of least area enclosing any principal building shall be twenty feet, which minimum shall be increased at the rate of five feet per story for a building height in excess of two stories and at the rate of one foot for each six feet by which the length of the rectangle exceeds sixty feet, except as provided in subparagraph c. below.

b. Where no side of the enclosing rectangle is parallel to the street line, the increase above the minimum of twenty feet required because of the length of the side of the enclosing rectangle shall be based on the length of the side of the enclosing rectangle most nearly parallel to the property line.

c. Where an exterior street abuts a Group Housing Project parcel or is extended into the parcel as an interior street, and fifty-one percent or more of the lots on the same side of the street within the same block and within 200 feet of the bounding line of such parcel are improved with residence buildings, no principal building shall project beyond the average alignment of the residence buildings, provided that no setback shall be less than ten feet and need not exceed forty feet in depth.

2. Accessory buildings. No accessory building shall be closer to any street line than fifty feet.

E. Courts (inner or outer). The least dimension of a court shall be thirty feet, which minimum shall be increased at the rate of five feet per story for a building height in excess of two stories and at the rate of one foot for each five feet by which the wall length exceeds sixty feet, provided that the open space allocated to any wall may overlap that allocated to any other wall facing the same court. For the purposes of determining the length of a building wall, the length shall be deemed the longest side of the rectangle of least area within which such wall could be enclosed.
