An SRO single resident occupancy is a commercial building containing at least 11 rooming units that are available for rent for periods of seven days or more. Conversion of existing commercial buildings to SRO is allowed in zoning districts that permit multifamily residential development or apartments. These SRO regulations are considered to be in addition to the regulations of the underlying zoning districts where SRO development is permitted. SROs must meet the current local standards for building and life safety. [Ord. 96-01 §2, 1996. Formerly §17.29.010].
