(a)

Purpose. Dormitories are intended to provide sleeping accommodations for unrelated persons who are registered students and/or employees of an educational and/or religious institution on a seasonal or year-round basis. Dormitories are managed by the institution at which the students/employees are associated. Dormitories should closely resemble typical multifamily structures when located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods.

(b)

Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to all dormitory development, expansion, and operation.

(c)

Standards.

(1)

Dormitories shall be associated with or accessory to an educational or religious institution. Residents shall be either employed or enrolled in the associated educational and/or religious institution.

(2)

Dormitories may be located on a separate lot or parcel from the educational/religious institutional they serve. Dormitories should be located within the general vicinity, typically within one-half mile, of the institution in which they are associated.

(3)

Individual dormitory units shall not have full kitchens. Shared, fully-equipped cooking facilities may be available to a grouping of units.

(4)

Dormitory density may be calculated as a residential equivalent use and based on the underlying future land use map classification.
