Please submit 20 sets of all materials no later than the 3 Wednesday of the month before 4:00 pm. Materials must be

Duplex residence must meet the following Land Use Management Ordinance standards:
1. The maximum floor area of the structure may not exceed 3,000 square feet.
2. The maximum floor area ratio applicable shall be .40.
3. The maximum number of bedrooms per structure shall be 6.
4. The maximum number of permitted parking spaces is 4.
5. The Community Design Commission shall review site plans and building elevations and shall approve plans if the
applicant demonstrates substantial compliance. In situations where substantial compliance has not been
demonstrated, the Commission shall approve plans if the applicant demonstrates that reasonable efforts have
been made to achieve compliance and that the failure to achieve substantial compliance is due to conditions that
cannot be changed with reasonable efforts (see below).
6. A Zoning Compliance Permit must be issued prior to obtaining a building permit.
Guidelines for duplex dwellings to be administered by the Community Design Commission
1. The size, and height, of a new duplex structure should not exceed by more than 25 percent any other structures
in the neighborhood in which such structure is to be built or converted to a duplex.
2. For purposes of evaluating compliance with this standard the “neighborhood” to be considered should include all
structures designed or used as dwelling on lots any portion of which is within 300 feet of the subject property.
3. At least one duplex front door should be visible from the front of the structure.
4. Garage doors, if facing the street, should be limited to a single standard garage door. Garage doors should not be
more than 10 feet closer to the front set back of the lot than any of the front doors of the duplex dwelling units.
5. Entrances should be visible and approaches to the front entrance of each dwelling unit should be clearly
delineated by improved walkways and landscaping.
6. Each dwelling should have a front entrance that is defined by an outdoor light attached to the structure and
adjacent to the front door, landing, or porch at least 3 feet square (9 square feet) and a canopy of materials
matching the structure and extending at least 3 feet from the wall of the structure.
7. Lighting should be designed to provide illumination from the parking areas to the front entrance of each dwelling
unit, without creating spillover onto adjacent properties.
8. Parking areas must be clearly designed by covering such areas with a paved or gravel surface and by delineating
the edges of such areas through the use of landscape timbers, plantings, or other materials.
9. The visual impact from the street or adjacent properties of any front yard parking should be minimized with
vegetative screening or the use of low walls/fencing.
Procedures for Review
1. When considering a Duplex Application, the Community Design Commission shall consider and make a
determination by majority vote as to the completeness of application materials.
2. An application determined to be complete will be considered at the same meeting. During the same meeting the
Community Design Commission may approve, approve with conditions, deny, or table the application.
3. An application determined to be incomplete will not be heard at that same meeting. The applicant shall be
notified in writing as to the deficiencies and shall be permitted to amend the application to provide a complete
application.
