A. The R-3 District is intended as a residential area that permits single-family detached housing at a density of three (3) units per gross acre (i.e., the density for an acre of unsubdivided land, regardless of where streets, etc., may or may not be located, will be calculated at a minimum of 3 units).
B. The gross acre calculation is intended to provide the subdivider flexibility, so when dedicating land for public use, the density may be made up elsewhere in the subdivision as long as the other site performance standards are met.
C. This district is intended for those areas of the City that are developed at this density because of factors such as vehicular access, topography, flood hazard and landslide hazard.
D. A maximum of two (2) dwelling units are allowed per lot provided the lot meets the minimum lot square footage for two (2) units and each dwelling unit meets the minimum yard (setback) requirements.
1. For the purposes of this section, the term "two (2) dwelling units" shall mean two (2) single family dwelling units or one single family dwelling unit and one accessory dwelling unit. (Ord. 3600, 2018: Ord. 1815 §2, 1983: Ord. 1691 §1(part), 1982)
