> >predictability and consistency in the Zoning Code in matters related to

> >the term "affected person" in order to establish who has legal standing to
> >file a land use appeal with the Board of Adjustment and/or the City
> >Council. Planning and Zoning Commission considered a proposed Ordinance at

> >The proposed Ordinance amends the definition of "family" found in the
> >current Moscow City Zoning Code. Among other things, it reduces the number
> >of people who can live together as a single family unit from six (6) to
> >four (4); it defines with more precision what constitutes "living together
> >as a single family unit" and creates a category for people who are living
> >together as a single family unit but who are not married or related to all
> >others. Additionally, the proposed Ordinance creates a "residential rental
> >unit" which allows five (5) or six (6) people to live together as a single
> >family unit upon the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in FR, SR, R-1,
> >R-2, and R-3 and allows a residential rental unit by right in AF, R-4, RO,
> >NB, CB, GB and MB. A residential unit is not allowed in the RTO or I
