Vienna Council likes cottage housing concept, but not right now | Vienna

Vienna Town Council members were intrigued Dec. 14 by two developers’ proposals to build “cottage housing” or small duplexes near the Maple Avenue commercial corridor, but said they want to wait until the town completes its zoning-code rewrite next year before making any decisions. Cottage housing, a collection of small houses clustered around a common area, have been around since at least the 19th century and recently have been popularized in the Pacific Northwest, said Deputy Planning and Zoning Director Michael D’Orazio. These units typically have smaller footprints than most single-family housing, first-floor master bedrooms and recessed second stories, where another one or two smaller bedrooms are located, he said. Parking provided for such units tends to be a bit less than is typical and connected to the units via walkways.
