DRAFT October 24, 2014 <br /> TCAAP Redevelopment Code <br />Page | 21 <br /> <br />Complete Street <br />A complete street is a transportation policy and design approach that requires streets to be <br />planned, designed, operated, and maintained to enable safe, convenient and comfortable <br />travel and access for users of all ages and abilities regardless of their mode of transportation. <br />Cottage/Patio Home <br />The Cottage or Patio Home building type consists of small, one and two-story single-family <br />detached residential units that are built close to the street and each other. They are typically <br />sideyard/zero lot line homes with a small yard or patio space. This type of building enables <br />appropriate infill residential within existing neighborhoods and is important for providing a <br />broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability. <br /> <br /> Image of a Cottage or Patio Home <br /> <br />Cottage Court <br />The Cottage Court building type consists of a series of small, detached structures, providing <br />multiple units arranged to define a shared court that is typically perpendicular to the street. <br />The shared court takes the place of a private rear yard and becomes an important <br />community-enhancing element. This type is appropriately-scaled to fit as transitions between <br />single-family neighborhoods and commercial corridors. It enables appropriately-scaled, well- <br />designed infill residential and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and <br />promoting walkability. <br /> <br /> Image of a Cottage Court <br /> <br />E <br />Encroachment <br />Any structural or non-structural element such as a sign, awning, canopy, terrace or balcony that <br />breaks the plane of a vertical or horizontal regulatory limit, extending into a setback, into the <br />public right-of-way, or above a height limit.
