The city of Buckley Multifamily Design Guidelines specify minimum standards and desirable attributes for multifamily developments in Buckley. These guidelines are not intended to restrict the variety or creativity of architectural design of multifamily buildings, but rather to ensure minimum standards that reflect the desired form and function of multifamily housing in Buckley. (Ord. 11-20 § 1 (Att), 2020).
19.49.020 Applicability.
(1) All multifamily residential housing in the city of Buckley shall comply with the requirements set forth in the city of Buckley “Multifamily Design Guidelines.”
(2) For determining applicability to these “Multifamily Design Guidelines,” the term “multifamily” includes all duplexes, townhomes, or any other structures containing three or more dwelling units amounting to at least eight residential units on the same parcel or on consecutive parcels under common ownership, regardless of whether individual dwelling units are leased or individually owned. (Ord. 11-20 § 1 (Att), 2020).
