Anyone familiar with Austin, TX planning regulations/development? They have this typology of condo-ized single family/plexes style developments.

Post Body

I've been looking around ABOR.com (Austin Board of Realtors MLS) just to really get a feeling of how ridic the Austin market is and I've come across a few of these. Anywhere in Houston and these would be an X-plex or single family fee simples on separate lots.

I am guessing it is some kind of loophole around minimum lot sizes and multi-family restrictions from their zoning. This is my "real" question for anyone who understands Austin's zoning and development rules, how and why does this actually work? Do Condos count as a "single unit" under the zoning code or something? Or, maybe your community sees the same kind of "condo" development, what leads to that where you are? It (the condo-ization) of non-multi-family typologies just seems weird to me as a Houstonian.

This first one is a duplex that has been condo-ized and is selling as a single family home in a condo association.

This second one is basically a glorified garage apartment selling separately from the "main house" and a second glorified garage apartment.
