19.10.160 Single room occupancy.

(A) Purpose. The purpose of these regulations are to assure well managed and maintained single room occupancy (SRO) developments. SROs are a type of group residential use. The following provisions shall apply specifically to SROs and may provide guidance for other group residential projects.

(B) General Provisions.

(1) Density. Given that these are small individual housing rooms, to equate SRO projects with General Plan housing unit densities, the city shall apply a factor of two to the density range. That is, a General Plan density range of ten to twenty units per acre shall equate to an SRO project density range of twenty to forty rooms/acre. Density bonuses may also be applied to qualifying SRO projects.

(2) Any SRO project must also meet the following standards:

(a) Proposed new construction, or exterior alterations to the existing buildings are compatible with the design and scale of the surrounding neighborhood;

(b) SRO sizes shall range from one hundred fifty to four hundred fifty square feet;

(c) A preliminary management plan shall be submitted as part of a design permit application and shall be reviewed and approved by the community development director prior to the application being deemed complete. A final management plan shall be approved by the community development department prior to issuance of a building permit, and recorded at the Napa County recorder's office;

(d) An on-site twenty-four-hour manager is required;

(e) Tenancy of a SRO shall not be less than thirty days.
