§ 18.8. Density and Intensity of Development.  


Latest version.
  • 18.8-1 Residential. The total number of dwelling units and the corresponding density, as well as the approximate location of such units, shall be established at the time of concept plan approval pursuant to subsection 18 provided that the approximate location of specific units may be modified after approval of the plan if such modification does not affect the total density of the development and does not affect the total number of units of a particular type by more than 15 percent. Any modifications that meet the density and type requirements may be approved by the zoning administrator upon the receipt of a revised plat. Any modifications that exceed the density and type requirements shall be re-submitted to the board of zoning appeals/planning commission for approval. The zoning administrator shall have ten days to review any modified plans. Residential units may consist of single-family attached or detached dwellings. Also allowed as residential units are duplexes, triplexes, quadraplexes, townhomes, live-work units or any combination of these that adequately address the developer's concept of the project.

    18.8-2 Lot size. Supporting commercial facilities and use facilities may be authorized up to 100 percent lot coverage provided a parking plan identifying parking alternatives in the immediate vicinity of the building, acceptable to the board of zoning appeals/planning commission is developed for the proposed building. No variances from landscaping requirements shall be granted unless developer has true hardship as defined in Article III of these regulations. However, modifications may be made to the landscape plan if the modifications do not alter the intent of this ordinance and enhance the project as determined by the zoning administrator and approved by the board of zoning appeals/planning commission.

    18.8-3 Height. Building heights may not exceed 45 feet (excluding solar panels and roof-mounted rainwater cisterns) unless waived by the board of zoning appeals/planning commission.
