Tonasket City Zoning Code

If a lot or the aggregate of contiguous lots held in single ownership and recorded in the office of the county assessor at the time of passage of the ordinance codified in this title has an area or dimension which does not meet the lot size or lot width requirements of the district in which the property is located, the lot or aggregate holdings may be occupied by a use permitted outright in the district subject to the other requirements of the district.

The following types of structures or structural parts are not subject to the building height limitation of this title: aerials, belfries, chimneys, church spires, cupolas, domes, elevator shafts, fire and hose towers, flagpoles, monuments, observation towers, radio, television and telecommunications towers, smokestacks, transmission towers, water towers, windmills, and other similar projections.

Except as modified in this section, all lots shall abut upon a street other than an alley for a width of at least 25 feet. A lot may abut upon a private easement; provided, that the planning commission grants approval to secure a building permit upon making the finding that the private easement is of adequate width, alignment, grade, and restricted length to afford the same degree of safety as a public street.

Recreational vehicles may only be used as a dwelling unit within the city to the extent and purpose that a state law preempts city code. However, that with the permission (permit) of the building official or council, an RV may be used as a temporary dwelling at a construction site for an initial period of three months. Said period may be extended upon application for extension and permission from the council or building official for an additional period; provided, however, that there shall be no more than two such units upon any one construction site.

In an R-1 or R-2 district no cars, trucks, or similar vehicles which are in an inoperable condition may be located outside of an enclosed building.
