Multifamily housing structures or developments may also contain accessory dwelling units, which are not included in the unit count, density calculations, or site coverage calculations for the purposes of determining consistency with this title, as allowed by state law. “Primary dwelling” means the dwelling(s) which accommodate the primary use of the site.

Also includes factory-built, modular housing units, constructed in compliance with the Uniform Building Code (UBC), and mobilehomes/manufactured housing units that comply with the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, placed on permanent foundation systems. Single-family dwellings may also contain accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units or be located on lots with detached accessory dwelling units, which are not included in the unit count, density calculations, or site coverage calculations for the purposes of determining consistency with this Title, and which do not cause the single-family dwelling or the lot on which it is located to be considered a multifamily dwelling or a multifamily lot or property.
