A. Parking Requirements. Parking requirements for the residential zones are as provided in Chapter 21.18 LMC.

1. Tandem Parking in Multiple-Family Zones. In the RML, RMM, and RMH zones, 10 percent of the required parking may be in tandem parking; provided, that the area in which the tandem parking is located is designated on an approved site plan and that they are assigned by the management; or, 10 percent of the parking stalls required may be located in a separate parking lot utilized only for recreation vehicles, provided the area does not encroach on front, side, and rear yard setbacks.

2. Carports in Multiple-Family Zones. Open carports (i.e., roofed or covered, but without walls or other side enclosure) sheltering parking stalls required by and meeting the standards of Chapter 21.18 LMC, and canopies or covered walkways leading from carports or other parking areas to building entrances (provided the walkway is paved), shall not be included in determining lot coverage under this section. This exemption does not apply to any enclosed or walled area (such as, but not limited to, outdoor storage areas whether or not they are part of a carport building or structure). Carports must be no more than 15 feet above the parking surface and must meet setbacks and other development standards of the applicable zone.

B. Building Height in RMH Zones. The front, rear, and side yard setbacks of any building that exceeds a height of 45 feet shall be increased by one foot for each one foot that the building exceeds a height of 45 feet.

C. Preexisting Subdivisions. Any lot described on a plat duly recorded in the land records of Snohomish County prior to January 1, 1970, may be used for a one-family dwelling if the lot dimensions and area are in conformance with LMC 21.12.300, and the buildings to be located thereon conform to all other standards of the residential zone within which the lot is located.
