The City of Seattle recently passed an ordiance which would allow the development of detached cottages in the rear of single-family neighborhoods. The building regulations of the cottages are 22' maximum height and 800 square foot maximum floor plan. Their intent is to strengthen the neighborhoods by providing family units and affordable rental units.
Sounds like a great way to achieve higher density without consuming additional land resources. I wonder what impact this will have on the existing infrastructure (water, sewer, roads, etc)?
