'''T3 zones''' are the lowest-intensity [[transect zones]] proposed in [[CodeNEXT]]. They max out at one story and generally allow ''at most'' a duplex and an [[ADU]]. Low intensity zoning like this does not belong in the urban core of a major world-class city like Austin.

Examples of T3 zones:

*[[T3NE.WL]]
*[[T3NE]]
*[[T3N.DS]]
*[[T3N.IS]]
*[[T3MS]]

		+	\|-
		+	\|Requiring ADU's to fit in a 28x24 footprint is overly restrictive. Considering that front houses have irregular shapes and other site constraints (trees, floodplain, drainage and other easements). If an ADU is under 1100 sq ft the ADU should be able to not abide by the 28x24 footprint. This would also allow 1 story 1100 sq ft ADU's.

		+	\|The side, rear, and front setbacks leave very little room for an ADU on most lots. In particular, the 20’ rear setback is the same for the primary structure and the ADU where alleys do not exist.
		+	The rear setback should be five or ten foot setbacks for the ADU. The code should encourage ADUs by allowing for smaller setbacks when an ADU is built.

		+
		+	\|-
		+	\| Requiring parking behind the front facade of the building should be taken out. It will make it difficult to build ADU's and keep this existing house since currently many houses have parking pads in front of the front facade of the building. Most central Austin lots don't have room for rear parking for the front house and a ADU on the back part of the lot. Additionally this will increase impervious cover and hurt affordability by requiring longer driveways.
		+
		+	Requiring lots with an alley to only have parking accessed from the Alley should be taken out. This should remain as an option and not a requirement. This will increase impervious cover and hurt affordability by in many cases requiring longer driveways. In addition this will not be possible in many cases because of trees, floodplain and other site constraints. It will also make ADU's more difficult because the back of the lot is where most ADU's are placed. Additionally by increasing impervious cover it will be difficult to do much on these lots besides have a primary house and a long parking driveway from the back of the lot to the front house.
