    Doma San Diego, California

    doma San Diego, California Project Type: Residential Case No: C035009 Year: 2005 SUMMARY doma is a 121-unit, market-rate condominium building that comprises lofts, flats, and townhouses ranging in size from 725 to 1,600 square feet (67.4 to 176.5 square meters). The block-sized project combines two distinct design typologies: a modern, eight-story industrial-themed concrete structure on one end of the site and a more traditional four-story wood-frame townhouse component at the other. Located in the Little Italy neighborhood of downtown San Diego, it was designed with mid- to high-end buyers in mind—the building includes open space, top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, and ample deck space. Eight of the townhouses are “shopkeeper units” in which the living space is placed directly above a storefront.

  • Townhouse Or Two-Family Dwelling?

    Townhouse Or Two-Family Dwelling?

    TWO-FAMILY DWELLING, TWO-UNIT TOWNHOUSE and TOWNHOUSE BUILDINGS and the 2020 MINNESOTA RESIDENTIAL CODE Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry DEFINITIONS A two-family dwelling (IRC-2 occupancy) is: • A building containing two separate dwelling units. • The separation between units is either horizontal or vertical. • Both units are on one lot. • Sometimes referred to as “duplexes.” A townhouse (IRC-3 occupancy) is: • A single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of two or more attached dwelling units. • Each unit is a separate building and extends from the foundation to the roof with open space on at least two sides of each unit. • Each unit is provided with separate building service utilities required by other chapters of the State Building Code. • A two-unit townhouse is sometimes referred to as a “twin-home.” DISTINCTION The primary differences between a two-family dwelling and a two-unit townhouse or twin-home: • Property – A two-unit townhouse or twin-home is typically located on two separate individual lots with a property line running between them whereas both units of a two-family dwelling, or “duplex,” are located on the same single lot. • Separation – A two-unit townhouse must be separated from the foundation to the roof by a double wall (two one-hour walls, see exceptions below). The separation between units in a two-family dwelling can be provided by single one-hour fire-resistance-rated assembly that is horizontal or vertical. • Services – Since each townhouse unit is a separate building, each townhouse unit must be supplied with separate utilities. Units classified as townhouses must be supplied by separate electrical services.

    Requirements for Covered Multifamily Dwellings Under the Fair Housing Act

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT OFFICE OF FAIR HOUSING AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION Washington, D.C. April 30, 2013 JOINT STATEMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ACCESSIBILITY (DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION) REQUIREMENTS FOR COVERED MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT Introduction The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) are jointly responsible for enforcing the federal Fair Housing Act (the “Act”),1 which prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability.2 One of the types of disability discrimination prohibited by the Act is the failure to design and construct covered multifamily dwellings with certain features of accessible design. See 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f). This Joint Statement provides guidance regarding the persons, entities, and types of housing and related facilities that are subject to the accessible design and construction requirements of the Act (hereinafter, “design and construction requirements”). See 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3). 1The Fair Housing Act is codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-3619. 2The Act uses the term “handicap” instead of “disability.” Both terms have the same legal meaning. See Bragdon v. Abbott, 524 U.S. 624, 631 (1998) (noting that definition of “disability” in the Americans with Disabilities Act is drawn almost verbatim “from the definition of ‘handicap’ contained in the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988”). This document uses the term “disability,” which is more generally accepted.
