TWO-FAMILY

The “Two-Family” building form exhibits a similar shape and
architectural features to the “Single-Family” building form, but
allows for a slightly higher density. The Two-Family building form
can be designed as two side-by-side single-family units; can be a
form split with one unit facing the primary street and the other
facing a secondary street, backyard, or side yard; and can be a
form with one unit on the ground-level and the other on the
upper-level. Parking is provided for each of the units. Parking can
take the form of a shared, attached garage; a shared, detached
garage; individual, attached garages; or individual, shared
garages.

element. This building form is sized to fit within single-family
and medium density neighborhoods. The Cottage Court
building form enables appropriately scaled, well-designed
higher densities and is important for providing a broad choice
of housing types and promoting walkability. Parking in Cottage
Court developments can occur in many fashions: as attached or
detached garages tied to individual homes, as attached carports,
within detached communal garages, or within scattered surface
parking lots.
