A. Residential Uses

Uses characterized by residential occupancy of a dwelling unit by a “family.” Common accessory uses include recreational activities, raising of household pets, personal gardens, personal storage buildings, hobbies, and resident parking. Specific use types include:

A residential development that combines small individually-owned units on a single lot with common open space and sometimes including a larger community kitchen and dining room intended for communal use on a regular basis. The residents in a co-housing development agree to share in the provision of communal services such as cooking meals, maintenance of grounds, and child care.

A building with two dwelling units located on a single lot designed or arranged to be occupied by two families living independently.

A dwelling unit containing an integrated living and working space in different areas of the unit.

A building, group of buildings, or portion of a building that contains three or more dwelling units or, for mixed use projects where the residential component is less than 50 percent of the total floor area, one or more dwelling units located on a single lot.

Three or more dwelling units where each dwelling unit is attached to other units and is located on its own separate lot for occupancy by one family.

A building, located on one lot containing one dwelling unit not physically attached to any other principal structure, to be occupied by one family.

A structure built in accordance with the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 and Title of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as implemented by the Arizona Office of Manufactured Housing pursuant to A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 37. This definition does not include manufactured home parks.

A structure built prior to June 15, 1976, on a permanent chassis, capable of being transported in one or more sections and designed to be used with or without a permanent foundation as a dwelling when connected to on-site utilities. The definition of mobile homes does not include recreational vehicles or manufactured homes.

Uses characterized by residential occupancy of a structure by a group of people who do not meet the definition of “household living.” Tenancy is arranged on a monthly or longer basis and the size of the group may be larger than a “family.” Generally, group living structures have a common eating area for residents. Residents may receive care, training, or treatment, and caregivers may or may not also reside at the site. Accessory uses are limited to recreational facilities and vehicle parking for occupants and staff. The group living category is not to be construed as a “group home.” Specific use types within the group living use category include:

A center licensed by the State Department of Health Services that provides living accommodations and medical services for those with illness or disability. Services like transportation, housekeeping, dietary supervision, and recreational activities may also be offered. The term “Assisted Living Center” does not include a group home used as a residence in a residential district.

A place of residence, other than a hotel, motel, or boarding house that is used, occupied, and maintained by persons enrolled in a college, university, educational, or religious institution, with sleeping accommodations, common gathering rooms, and may include group cooking and dining facilities designed to service the entire residency of the dormitory, and that is recognized and subject to controls by such educational institution.
