§ 17.88.135. Second one-family residence.

A second one-family residence may be constructed on a lot, in addition to a permitted residence, provided:

A.

The residential density permitted by the general plan and the minimum lot area required by the zoning plan are not exceeded;

B.

The applicant demonstrates that the second residence is located on a lot in a manner that will meet all applicable development standards of the district in which it is located;

C.

Road improvements are constructed, as required by the county development standards;

D.

The second residence meets all requirements of the county fire safety standards, including any required second access or through/continuous road for emergency fire escape purposes;

E.

The second residence meets all requirements of the division of environmental health, including, but not limited to, water supply, sewage disposal, grading, and potential effects on existing water supply and sewage disposal systems;

F.

A new single-family residence shall not be located in any R-3 district since this may have the effect of limiting the housing opportunities of the region and could create specific adverse impacts on the county's ability to provide affordable housing;

G.

Approval of a second single-family residence on a parcel does not ensure that the property can qualify for a future land division. The property owner shall sign an agreement providing that he/she acknowledges his/her understanding of this notice. The planning director shall furnish and record an agreement which shall serve as a covenant running with the land for the benefit of the county. (Applicants/property owners are strongly advised to consult with the appropriate county agencies to determine the applicable development standards that may apply should a future land division be requested.)
