Handbook for multiple residential structures on a property

This handbook explains the zoning rules that allow more than one residential building on a lot.

What to know

In some parts of the city, the rules only allow one home on a lot. There are four types of development that are allowed as exceptions:

  • Detached accessory dwelling units
  • Cluster developments
  • Common lot developments
  • Planned unit developments

Use this handbook to learn the rules for these types of development and how they are different.
