Alternative Residential Subdivisions (AME2018 0012)
[UPDATE – THIS ORDINANCE HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO THE SEPT. 25 MEETING]

The Alternative Residential Subdivision (ARS) ordinance is designed to provide reasonable minimum standards and procedures for small-lot residential communities in which all or some of the lots do not substantially conform to the minimum requirements for a traditional subdivided lot. This would allow for the ability to develop a range of housing options not available today, while encouraging developments that are in harmony with the surrounding area. Such development possibilities include infill development, tiny houses, and cottage-size housing.
