The Specialized Senior Housing Overlay (SSHO) zoning classification is intended to allow specialized senior housing development at densities higher than normally permitted in specified R 40,000 – R 5,400a zoning districts where such development has been determined to be appropriate due to proximity to facilities and/or services which especially benefit the elderly. The implementing regulations concerning the location, density, design and operation of specialized senior housing are set forth in the subarea chapter in which the SSHO zoning classification is located. The SSHO zoning classification provides for an additional use within, but does not replace, the underlying zoning classification. SSHO zoning classification regulations shall not apply to uses other than specialized senior housing (see BMC 12.04.020). (Ord. 2053 § 3 (Exh. C), 2010; Ord. 1946 § 2, 2005; Ord. 1815 § 1, 2000; Ord. 1685, 1997).
