Draft PUD would cap house size at 1,500 sq ft, set development area and density limits
Summary
Staff proposed technical limits for the small‑house PUD: one qualifying PUD per originating parcel every five years, development areas of about 0.6–2 acres, maximum 4–8 buildings per cluster, minimum lot size 6,000 sq ft, and proposed 50% of units be designated affordable under town definition.
Chris outlined the draft technical standards that will appear in the redline being prepared for the commission's next meeting: an originating parcel must be at least 10 acres to be eligible, only one small‑house PUD may be authorized on an originating parcel in a five‑year period, the development area for the cluster should be roughly 0.6–2 acres, and the working group recommends a maximum of 4–8 buildings per cluster.
On unit size and affordability, Chris said individual houses would be limited to 1,500 square feet of habitable space and the working group proposed that at least 50% of units in a cluster be designated affordable under Jericho's definition (100% AMI). He also reported that allowing gravel roads in addition to paved roads would increase the number of potentially eligible parcels from about 101 to 157.
