11-3-10: DWELLING GROUPS:
When authorized as a use in the zoning district in which it is proposed to be located, a dwelling group may be developed subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of section 11-7-8 of this title and subject also to compliance with all of the following site requirement conditions:
   A.   The number of dwelling units permitted on the site shall be based upon the density limits of the zoning district.
   B.   The yard, height, lot coverage and area requirements of the district shall apply to the entire site.
   C.   No two (2) buildings containing dwelling units shall be closer together than twice the minimum side yard for the district.
   D.   A permanent open court shall be required adjoining the entire length of every building containing a dwelling unit. The court shall have a depth equal to the minimum front yard required in the district. In no case shall the minimum rear yard of the site be used to furnish the required court area.
   E.   Off street parking shall be provided in accordance with the parking and loading provisions of this title 1 . Where necessary to avoid congestion on abutting streets in a single-family district, the city council may require additional spaces for visitor parking.
   F.   A permanent ten foot (10') landscaped strip shall be maintained along the side and rear lot lines of the entire development. Such strips shall not be used as drives or for parking.
   G.   The location, size, nature and topography of the open space areas shall be suitable for use as common areas for park, recreational purposes and buffer areas between groups of homesites. Not more than fifty percent (50%) of the open space areas resulting from the clustering of dwellings shall have a slope in excess of twenty percent (20%).
   H.   Adequate provision shall be made for the perpetual maintenance of all open space areas by the inclusion of covenants running with the land in the deeds or other instruments of conveyance which delineate such open areas. (Ord. A-407, 3-15-1982; amd. Ord. 05-25, 11-21-2005)
