Dupont, WA 98327

The purpose of the R-5 district is to implement the single-family land uses called for in the land use tables of the comprehensive plan, where single-family density averages five units per acre. This district is appropriate for Palisade Village, Yehle Park Village and Edmond Village. (4) The purpose of the R-12 district is to implement the multifamily land use called for in the land use tables of the comprehensive plan, where multifamily density averages 12 units per acre. (5) The purpose of the residential reserve district is to designate property not needed for the city's 20-year growth projections (currently ending in 2012) for the northerly portion of the Sequalitchew Village planning area. The residential reserve district is intended as an interim measure to provide time for future studies and analysis to be conducted for subsequent comprehensive plan amendments. As such, the density for this district is one dwelling unit per five acres. This designation will be reviewed as part of the city's five-year plan update cycle and may be considered earlier through the city's once every two-year plan amendment process if necessary. (6) The purpose of the complete community overlay (CCO) district is to provide for density bonus incentives and mixed use development options to achieve diverse housing choices for seniors and retirees and to provide mixed use occupancy at a neighborhood scale that promotes an active, walkable lifestyle for DuPont residents. The overlay is an optional planning tool that allows density and land use incentives for innovative, mixed use projects that are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The overlay is a land use tool intended to meet the active-adult and neighborhood amenity goals and policies of the DuPont comprehensive plan. A CCO may be applied in all residential districts and where this type of development is allowed in the comprehensive plan; overlays shall be reviewed as a Type III procedure and shall include an associated master plan that includes the overall project design, land uses, and densities/intensities. Where residential zoning includes a CCO, the applicable standards of the overlay district shall apply. Where a CCO is approved, the underlying zoning shall remain in effect. The CCO district may be eligible to sites containing generally 10 acres or more. (7) All provisions of this residential district chapter apply to all districts listed above unless stated otherwise.
