(3) Maximum number of dwelling units.
(a) The number of dwelling units permitted in a project shall not exceed the number of dwelling units permitted by the property development standards of the zone in which the project property is located.
(b) In computing the maximum number of dwelling units which may be permitted for a project, the land area within the proposed project shall be considered less any portion thereof for street purposes and/or easements for master-planned flood control and drainage facilities have been accepted for dedication by the city or offered to the city for dedication or required to be so offered by law or as a condition to any permit or entitlement granted by the city.
(c) Additionally, the maximum allowable number of dwelling units within a project, pursuant to the provisions of this section, shall be computed by adding to the number of dwelling units permitted within the project by reason of the zone in which project property is located the number of dwelling units which would be allowed on that property on which development rights are to be dedicated to the city for open space, even though such open space property is not eligible for inclusion within the project by reason of its zoning or location; provided, however, the additional dwelling units shall not exceed the maximum number of allowable dwelling units permitted in the project by reason of the zoning thereof.
(d) The maximum number of additional dwelling units relative to such open space property shall be computed as if the open space property were zoned the same as the property on which dwelling units are proposed to be constructed.
(4) Minimum lot area and width. The minimum lot area and width shall be determined by the zone in which the projects are situated as follows.
ZONE | MINIMUM LOT AREA | MINIMUM LOT WIDTH |
A-1-14 | 9.000 | 75 |

(5) Requirements. That property on which development rights are proposed shall be dedicated to the city for open space and shall be of sufficient size so as to assure that every lot within the project meets the minimum lot area per dwelling unit standards for the zone in which project property is located as computed pursuant to pertinent provisions of this section; provided, however, that the open space property on which dwelling units for a project are computed, which is used to assure that every lot within the project meets the minimum lot area standard, shall not be property, or any portion thereof, on which development rights have been dedicated or have been required to be dedicated for open space purposes or which has been considered open space in computing the maximum number of dwelling units for a project which a conditional use permit for a planned unit development has been previously granted by the city.
(B) If the open space property is to be offered for dedication as a public park, the open space must contain at least five contiguous acres at a location approved by the City Council and shall be accessible by motor vehicle or pedestrian use to those persons residing within the project. A conditional use permit for a planned unit development may contain a condition that any open space property, the development rights to which are dedicated to the city, shall be landscaped, and such landscaping shall be maintained by such owners of the property within the project and/or by the owners of the open space property through the creation of a landscape maintenance district or maintenance shall be guaranteed by covenants, conditions and restrictions imposed on the open space property and/or the property within the project or by other competent guarantee, as approved by the Planning Director.
