As required in section 32-47 of this ordinance, all multi-family developments, including apartment complexes, shall require the granting of a special use permit by the zoning board of review under the provisions of article V of this ordinance. Where a multi-family or apartment complex is to be constructed as a complex of separated structures, the requirements of section 32-4 of this ordinance relating to one (1) principal residential building shall not apply. The following requirements shall apply to all multi-family developments:

A.

Parking facilities shall be provided in accordance with the standards contained in article XVIII, except that the zoning board may permit a reduction to one (1) space per family unit where the type of housing is deemed not to require provision of the normally required number of spaces per unit.

B.

Where public sewers are not available, the applicant shall submit to the zoning board a statement from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management certifying that the proposed development can be safely served by an on-site sewage disposal system and where applicable, an on-site water supply. Any recommendations or restrictions of the department shall be made a condition of the granting of the special use permit for the development.

C.

Where a multi-family or apartment complex requires the subdivision of land as defined in the Warren Planning Board Regulations, the applicant shall submit a statement from the Warren Planning Board indicating that the proposed plat or subdivision has received preliminary approval under the board's regulations. The granting of a special use permit by the zoning board shall not be construed as releasing the applicant from any requirement under the Warren Planning Board Regulations, or under any other code or ordinance of the Town of Warren or the State of Rhode Island.

D.

In granting a special use permit for a multi-family or apartment complex, the zoning board may permit accessory structures such as garages, swimming pools, tennis courts and other recreational facilities as prescribed in section 32-58 of this ordinance.
