COTTAGE COURT

DESCRIPTION

This building form consists of a series of small, detached
structures, providing multiple units arranged around
a common courtyard on one lot, which is oriented
perpendicular to the street. The common courtyard
provides usable, shared open space in lieu of a private
rear yard and becomes an important community
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. Courtyards can also be jointly owned by the
community or partitioned to individual owners.
