Section 1. Section 18.12.040(I) is amended as follows to conform this Section with the
restrictions on density set forth in 18.08.010 and other Sections of the Chubbuck Municipal
Code:
18.12.040 Miscellaneous Supplemental Controls:
I. Density Restriction for Abutting Zero Lot Line Residences, Duplexes, Threeplexes, and
Fourplexes: In order to maintain an appropriate mixture of single -household dwellings,
abutting zero lot line residences, duplexes, threeplexes, and fourplexes, the design review
committee, land use and development commission, city council, and city staff shall, in
reviewing applications for building permits, design review clearance, and condition use
permits for abutting zero lot line residences, duplexes, threeplexes, and fourplexes, attempt to
achieve a balance among these types of residential dwellings. Within the limited residential
district (R-2), building permits for abutting zero lot line residences and duplexes shall be
granted or denied so as to ensure that no more than ten percent (10%) of the structures in any
distinct geographical area or subdivision are duplexes. In general residential land use
districts (R-3) design review clearance and building permits for abutting zero lot line
residences, duplexes, threeplexes and fourplexes shall be granted or denied so as to ensure
that the number of such structures do not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
structures located in any distinct geographical area or subdivision. Conditional use permits,
building permits, and design review clearance should also be granted or denied within the
limited residential (R-2) and general residential (R-3) land use districts so as to avoid any
clustering of double or multiple -household dwellings in any particular section of a distinct
geographical area or subdivision in conflict with the stated goal of establishing a diversity of
residential uses in these land use districts. Conditional use permits may be issued so as to
cluster abutting zero lot line residences and duplexes within a limited residential (R-2) and
abutting zero lot line residences, duplexes or threeplexes within a land use district and

building permits and design review clearance may be issued so as to cluster threeplexes and
fourplexes within a general residential (R-3) land use district if the same is necessary to take
into account unique conditions affecting aesthetics, traffic movement and control, municipal
services, utilities, or open urban space available for recreation and other purposes. In each
instance, the determination of what constitutes a distinct geographical area or subdivision
shall be made by the land use and development commission, subject to de novo review by the
city council. In making this determination, the commission and council shall consider the
actual boundaries of subdivisions, existing neighborhoods, natural boundaries and barriers
such as streams, canals and roads, school and church locations, and other factors which may
make a particular area a distinct and cohesive neighborhood unit. If: 1) a subdivision plat
designates certain lots for development of abutting zero lot line residences, duplexes,
threeplexes, fourplexes or apartments; 2) the total number of such lots complies with the
density restrictions of this section; and 3) the plat has been approved, and filed in accordance
with the requirements of title 17 of this code, then abutting zero lot line residences, duplexes,
threeplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings may be constructed on the lots so designated,
and on no others within that subdivision.
