14-11-020 R-5 TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT ZONE: Definitions and Development

A. A Townhome Development is a development containing residential units with two or more of the units attached to each other. Projects are planned to achieve a coordinated, functional and unified development pattern. B. The architectural review committee, as used herein, shall consist of the Mayor, a Planning Commission member, a city staff member, the developer, and a member of the Home Owners Association (HOA). If the HOA is not yet established, the developer may appoint a member to take the place of the HOA member. C. The R-5 Townhome Development zone must contain a minimum of five acres, a maximum of twenty acres, unless it has a single family residence element, in which event it may contain up to 50 acres, at the discretion of the City Council. Projects greater than 20 acres shall contain 80% of the dwelling units as single family residences and the other 20% of the dwelling units may be twin homes or townhomes. This zone is intended for higher densities, and may contain up to nine units per acre, provided that the density included within a single family aspect of a project may not be transferred to the twinhome/townhome density in the project. Adjacent properties zoned differently cannot be counted towards acreage amounts nor used to contain amenities or private streets or parking tied to the Townhome Development Zone. Dedicated public streets of a collector designation or higher cannot be counted toward the acreage requirement. All projects must meet the development standards set forth in this chapter.
