B. Special Sunrise/Valley View Neighborhood Requirements. All Special Requirements on this page apply to development in the Sunrise Valley View Neighborhood.
1. Minimum Lot Circle. Each lot must be of sufficient size to fully accommodate an 80 foot diameter circle for lots of 9,600 square feet or larger. The circle accommodated may decrease proportionally with smaller lot sizes to a minimum diameter of 70 feet for lots of 8,400 square feet.
2. Minimum Lot Size.
a. Minimum Lot size requirements for properties within the R9,600 Overlay (see Figure 12.64.106 Lot Size Overlays) shall be as follows:
i. The minimum lot size shall be 9,600 square feet on average.
ii. Subdivisions shall achieve an average of no less than 9,600 square feet per lot, except as may be otherwise permitted under an approved planned unit development, in accordance with Chapter 12.30 BMC. That is, the total area of all lots within a proposed subdivision divided by the number of lots shall amount to an average lot area of at least 9,600 square feet. Twenty percent of the lots in a subdivision may be smaller than 9,600 square feet, but no lot shall be smaller than 8,400 square feet, nor larger than 14,400 square feet. No more than one primary dwelling unit shall be placed on a lot.
b. Minimum Lot size requirements for properties within the R8,400 Overlay (see Figure 12.64.106 Lot Size Overlays) shall be as follows:
i. The minimum lot size shall be 8,400 sq.ft.
ii. No lot shall be less than the minimum lot area per single-family dwelling unit, except as may otherwise be permitted under an approved planned unit development, in accordance with Chapter 12.30 BMC. No more than one primary dwelling unit shall be placed on a lot.
c. In order to promote efficient use of land, no subdivision shall contain any lot having more than one and one-half times the minimum lot area, in the R 8,400 overlay or one and one-half times the average lot area, in the R 9,600 overlay (i.e., 14,400 square feet), except as follows:
i. Any subdivision of four lots or fewer may contain larger lots, but the property lines of such a subdivision shall be laid out so as to allow future subdivisions which comply with this subsection;
ii. A subdivision of five or more lots may contain larger lots to accommodate phasing of the subdivision; provided, that at completion of all phases, the subdivision complies with this subsection;
iii. A subdivision of five or more lots may contain a larger lot to permit the pre-existing house and any related outbuildings and grounds to be retained intact on one property;
iv. These maximum lot size regulations do not apply to any common tracts for critical area protection, open space retention, storm water retention/detention or other purposes as may be required by the city as a condition of subdivision approval.
d. Land area in roads and other rights-of-way, surface storm water retention/detention/water quality facilities, critical areas, critical area buffers, or land dedicated to the city, shall not be included in any proposed single-family lot, unless so stated in the conditions of an approved planned unit development, in accordance with Chapter 12.30 BMC.
e. Land in an access easement, utility easement, or other form of easement which is not set aside as a separate tract shall be counted as part of the area of a parcel for the purpose of calculating minimum lot area.
3. Hard Surface Coverage. Front Yard Setback Areas shall not contain any hard surface except for driveways, walkways, and structures allowed to encroach or project into the setback area. Hard surface requirements do not apply to the remainder of the parcel.
4. Corner Lot Duplexes. Duplexes are allowed in the Sunrise/Valley View neighborhood, provided:
a. Such duplexes are located on corner lots meeting the minimum lot area for a single-family residence; and
b. Duplexes are subject to the underlying zoning and dimensional standards.
c. The following incentives apply when a corner-lot duplex is created by retaining and renovating an existing dwelling unit:
1. Legally established nonconforming building setbacks and height can be matched in any building addition or expansion necessary to convert the existing dwelling unit to a duplex. (Ord. 2348 § 9, 2021; Ord. 2337 § 1, 2020; Ord. 2200 § 2 (Exh. B), 2016).
