Colona CHAPTER 2 RENTAL HOUSING1 § 9-2-5-14
NUMBER OF ROOMS LIMITED BY ZONING TITLE
Operative Text
Rooming houses, duplex, apartment and multiple-use dwellings shall contain not more than the number of dwelling or rooming units authorized by the Zoning Title of this Code 1 , nor shall any rooming or dwelling unit be occupied by more than the number of persons which the Zoning Title permits to occupy such a unit. (1997 Code) Notes 1 1. See Title 12 of this Code.
Section 9-2-5-14 of Colona's Rental Housing chapter establishes that rooming houses, duplexes, apartments, and multi-unit dwellings may not contain more dwelling or rooming units than the city's Zoning Title (Title 12) allows. Additionally, no individual unit may be occupied by more people than the Zoning Title permits. This provision ties occupancy and unit-count limits directly to Colona's zoning regulations, meaning the two codes work together to define the outer boundaries of lawful use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-2-5-14, compliant operators of rooming houses, duplexes, apartments, and multi-unit buildings ensure that the total number of units in their property does not exceed what Colona's Zoning Title (Title 12) authorizes for that property. They also monitor and maintain occupancy levels within each unit so that the number of residents stays within the zoning-permitted limit. Reviewing the applicable zoning classification for a property before renting additional units or accommodating additional occupants is a standard practice consistent with this provision.

Section 9-2-5-14 establishes that the number of units in a building and the number of occupants per unit are both capped by Colona's Zoning Title (Title 12), which means tenants have an interest in knowing whether their building and unit are being used within those authorized limits. If a tenant believes a landlord is operating more units than zoning allows or is overcrowding a unit beyond permitted occupancy, they may consider contacting the City of Colona's code enforcement or zoning office to inquire about the applicable limits. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how zoning and rental housing rules interact under this provision.
