48 <br /> CHCCS School Impact Fee Report(DRAFT) <br /> Appendix C: • • - <br /> For the purposes of school impact fee analysis and calculations, the following housing type categories <br /> were used. A brief description of each housing category is provided. <br /> Single Family Detached: a detached building located on a single lot containing one dwelling unit. In <br /> situations where an accessory dwelling unit (i.e., a "mother-in-law suite" or "granny flat") is located on <br /> the same lot,the principal dwelling is categorized as a Single Family Detached dwelling. <br /> Examples of single family detached dwellings are site-built houses and modular houses. <br /> Single Family Attached: a group of dwelling units which share a common floor-to-ceiling wall or share <br /> the wall of an attached garage or porch with an adjacent dwelling and in which all units have a ground- <br /> floor living space. Units are individually owned or intended to be individually owned after initial sales are <br /> complete. <br /> Examples of single family attached dwellings are duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, row houses, and <br /> condominiums in which all units have a ground-floor living space. <br /> Multifamily: a group of dwelling units which share a common floor-to-ceiling wall with an adjacent <br /> dwelling. All units may not have a ground-floor living space. Units may be individually owned (as is the <br /> case with condominiums) or may be owned by one entity and rented/leased to tenants. Also included in <br /> this category are dwelling units located above ground-floor non-residential (i.e., retail or office) uses. In <br /> situations where an accessory dwelling unit (i.e., a mother-in-law suite, granny flat, or efficiency <br /> apartment) is located on the same lot as a principal dwelling,the accessory dwelling unit is categorized as <br /> a multifamily dwelling provided the accessory dwelling unit is categorized as such by the local zoning code <br /> (i.e., less than 750-800 square feet, depending on the specifics of the local code). <br /> Examples of multifamily dwellings include apartments, condominiums in a multi-story building in which <br /> all units do not have a ground-floor living space, mother-in-law suites and granny flats located on a lot <br /> containing a separate principal dwelling, and dwellings located above non-residential uses. <br /> Manufactured home: a dwelling built in a factory in accordance with the federal Manufactured Home <br /> Construction and Safety Standards, commonly referred to as the 'HUD' Code. <br /> Examples of manufactured homes are single-wide, double-wide, and triple-wide"mobile" homes. <br /> Age Restricted Unit: A dwelling, regardless of type (detached, attached, multi-family, etc.), located in a <br /> development that restricts the number of units with occupants aged under 55 years old and whereby the <br /> age restriction is achieved by deed restrictions, homeowners association documents, and/or restrictive <br /> covenants. <br /> 41 <br />
