This category includes uses that provide living accommodations for one or more persons. The residential use subcategories are as follows.
A. Household Living: Residential occupancy of a dwelling unit by a household. When dwelling units are rented, tenancy is arranged on a month-to-month or longer basis. Uses where tenancy may be arranged for a shorter period are not considered residential; they are considered a form of lodging. Household living uses must occupy a residential building type that is permitted in the subject zoning districts, as indicated in section 10-6-1, table 6-1 of this chapter. The residential building types are as follows:
1. Detached House: A detached house is a principal residential building, other than a manufactured housing unit or mobile home, that contains only one dwelling unit and that is located on a single lot that is not occupied by other principal residential buildings. Detached houses are not attached to and do not abut other dwelling units. Detached houses include conventional ("stick-built") construction and construction involving modular or system-built components as long as such construction complies with applicable Building Codes.
2. Patio House: A patio house is a principal residential building occupied by one dwelling unit and that is located on a single lot that is not occupied by other principal residential buildings. Patio houses are not attached to and do not abut other dwelling units. The building is shifted to one side of the lot so that there is a more usable side yard on one side of the house and very little or no private yard on the other side. Patio houses are subject to the same lot and building regulations that apply to detached houses except as modified by the supplemental patio house regulations of section 10-7-10 of this title.
3. Townhouse: A townhouse building is a principal residential building that is occupied by multiple dwelling units, each located on its own lot with a common or abutting wall along the dwelling units' shared lot lines. Each dwelling unit has its own external entrance.
4. Duplex: A duplex is a principal residential building occupied by two (2) dwelling units, both of which are located on a single lot that is not occupied by other principal residential buildings. The two (2) dwelling units are attached and may be located on separate floors or side-by-side.
5. Multi-Unit House: A multi-unit house is a principal residential building that contains three (3) or four (4) dwelling units that share common walls and/or common floors/ceilings. The building is located on a single lot that is not occupied by other principal residential buildings. Multi-unit houses have the appearance of large detached houses and have only one entrance visible from the street.
6. Apartment/Condo: An apartment/condo building is a principal residential building on a single lot that is occupied by three (3) or more dwelling units (other than a multi-unit house) that share common walls and/or common floors/ceilings.
7. Manufactured Housing Unit: A manufactured housing unit is a principal residential building that complies with the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 USC section 5401, et seq.). Manufactured housing units are subject to the same regulations that apply to detached houses, except as modified by supplemental regulations of section 10-7-7 of this title.
8. Manufactured Housing Subdivision: A manufactured housing subdivision is a residential subdivision primarily comprising home sites for manufactured housing units on individual lots. Manufactured housing subdivisions are subject to the supplemental regulations of section 10-7-7 of this title.
9. Mixed-Use Building: A mixed-use building is a principal building occupied by one or more nonresidential uses on the ground floor and one or more residential dwelling units on upper floors.
10. Mobile Home: A mobile home is a principal residential building that is built on a permanent chassis and that complies with Standard for Mobile Homes, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 501, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 119.1, in effect at the time that the unit was manufactured. Mobile homes are allowed only within mobile home parks, which are subject to the regulations of section 10-7-8 of this title.
11. Mobile Home Park: A mobile home park is a lot or multiple lots upon which mobile homes or manufactured housing units are available for lease or upon which spaces for mobile homes or manufactured housing units are available for lease.
B. Group Living: Residential occupancy of a building or any portion of a building by a group other than a household. Group living uses typically provide communal kitchen/dining facilities. Examples of group living use types include convents and monasteries, rooming/boarding houses, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, community group homes, emergency and protective shelters, re-entry facilities, and residential treatment centers:
1. Community Group Home: A community-based group living use for elderly persons or persons with disabilities that allows independent living and that provides communal room and board, personal care, and habilitation services in a household-like environment. Community group homes for eight (8) or fewer persons are considered household living uses and are permitted wherever household living uses are allowed.
2. Emergency And Protective Shelter: A residential use that provides room and board for a continuous period of no more than thirty (30) consecutive days for adults or children who have been abused, displaced or are transient. Such uses provide protection services and typically provide counseling and pre-placement screening services as well.
