Title
AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING BEDROOM PERCENTAGES for the purpose of deleting bedroom percentage requirements and amending regulations for Residential Revitalization.
Background
This legislation amends the Zoning Ordinance concerning bedroom percentages and residential revitalization. The bill removes bedroom percentage requirements which were created at a time when the county was experiencing rapid growth and wished to limit the number of rental units. The Detailed Site Plan process provides for addressing bedroom percentages for multifamily developments located in the R-30, R-30C, R-18, R-18C, R-10A, R-10, and R-H Zones. The bill also amends the definition of residential revitalization to allow properties eligible for affordable housing tax credits to be eligible as a residential revitalization project in the County.
