Perkins, AICP, Senior Planner � Subject; Discussion— Definitions Date: August 3, 2009 In reviewing the definitions in the Zariing Ordinance ( §105- 101.02), it has been determined that the defuutions of "dwelling" and "dwelling, attached" need to be revised. It is recommended that the definition of a dwelling be expanded to state that a dwelling is a residential structure. It is also recommended that the definition of an attached dwelling be updated to distinguish it from other housing types currently permitted in the Zoning Ordinance and how it is connected to other units. Staff is proposing an ordinance amendment to clarify the definitions of "dwelling" and "dwelling, attached" as shown in Attachment 1. The item was presented to the Development Review and Regulations Committee (DRRC) at their meeting on May 28, 2009.
