Mr. Patel,
Your zoning permit application dated 10-15-15 has been approved per this memo.All work must meet all
applicable zoning and codes whether noted or not included within this memo.
The following items will be required for this project;
1. A restrictive covenant must be recorded and proof of the recording submitted with the building
permit application. Sample attached.
2. All proposed work must meet the requirements of 350.10.10 below.
An accessory apartment, or in-law apartment, is a self-contained housing unit incorporated within a
single-family dwelling (not within accessory structures, except with a special permit) that is a
subordinate part of the single-family dwelling and complies with the criteria below.
A. The intent of permitting accessory apartments is to:
M Provide older homeowners with a means of obtaining rental income, companionship, security
and services, and thereby to enable them to stay more comfortably in homes and neighborhoods
they might otherwise be forced to leave;
2LAdd moderately priced rental units to the housing stock to meet the needs of smaller households
and make housing units available to moderate-income households who might otherwise have
difficulty finding housing;
(3) Develop housing units in single-family neighborhoods that are appropriate for households at a
variety of stages in their life cycle;
(4) Protect stability, property values, and the single-family residential character of a neighborhood
by ensuring that accessory apartments are installed only in owner-occupied houses;
(5) To provide housing units for persons with disabilities.
B. The Building Commissioner may issue a zoning permit authorizing the installation and use of an
accessory apartment within an existing or new owner-occupied, single-family dwelling and the
Zoning Board of Appeals may issue a special permit authorizing the installation and use of an
accessory apartment in a detached structure on a single-family home lot when such structures have
the same setbacks required for principal residential structures and only when the following
conditions are met:
M The apartment will be a complete, separate housekeeping unit containing both kitchen and bath.
(2) Only one accessory apartment may be created within a single-family house or house lot.
The owner(s) of the residence in which the accessory unit is created must continue to occupy at
least one of the dwelling units as their primary residence. The zoning permit or special permit for
the accessory apartment automatically lapses if the owner no longer occupies one of the dwelling
units.
( Any new outside entrance to serve an accessory apartment shall be located on the side or in the
rear of the building.
(5) The gross floor area of an accessory apartment (including any additions) shall not be greater
than 900 square feet.
