Abstract:
Amendments to the Gresham Community Development Code to 1) Amend the definition of "Family" to be consistent with definitions used by other Oregon jurisdictions and will limit the number of unrelated persons that can live in a residence: 2) Amend definition of "Residential Facility" to be consistent with State statute which limits these facilities to 6 to 15 individuals: 3) Amend the Code so that Residential Facilities would not be permitted in Gresham's Low Density Residential (LDR) and Transit Low Density Residential (TLDR^ districts, consistent with State statute: 4) Establish lot size compatibility standards in the LDR district. This change would require new perimeter subdivision lots to be similar in size to existing adjacent parcels: 5) Amend the Code to require small lot subdivisions below 6.000 square feet to be processed as Planned Developments. This change is intended to improve the des ign quality of small-lot single-family residential development: 6) parking requirements for accessory dwellings.
