3. Potential Duplex Code Amendments (ACTION ITEM)
Over the past few years, the Community Development Department has received construction plans for 
duplex dwellings which have continued to evolve into multiple individual dwelling units intended to 
be rented as separate dwelling units and function as multiple family dwelling units. These two-family 
dwellings appear to be intentionally designed to avoid life safety, ADA accessibility, and off-street 
parking that would otherwise be required for multiple family dwelling units to protect the safety and 
welfare of the occupants of multi-family dwellings and mitigate the impacts of the use on the 
surrounding neighborhood. Staff recognize that there is a need for additional housing within the City, 
but the need to protect the safety of the residents of these two-family dwellings and mitigate the impact 
upon adjacent properties requires greater regulation. Therefore, staff proposes some code 
amendments for the Commission’s consideration that will clarify existing definitions and apply some 
multi-family requirements to more than one single- or two-family dwelling upon a single lot.  
Ray reviewed the final draft of the code amendment ordinance regarding duplexes as described above, 
including the most recent modifications provided by Commissioners from the last meeting. The State 
Legislative Session has proposed State code changes that may impact Moscow City Code in regard to 
parking standards and two-family dwellings standards. There was a short discussion about other proposed 
state level amendments with short-term rentals. The code amendment Public Hearing could be scheduled 
for as soon as the second meeting in April.
