(G) Density bonuses.
(1) Minimum gross density in the PNR-1 zone is one and one-half D.U./acre and the maximum gross density, without bonuses is 3 D.U./Acre, with bonuses gross density may rise to eight D.U./acre.
(2) When density bonuses apply to a development then for each additional residential unit constructed over and above the maximum density without bonuses, an additional 500 square feet of commercial floor area may be constructed.
(3) Commercial areas may not exceed 15% of the total building area unless density and use bonuses are earned.
(4) If multi-family residential structures provide variation in colors, fenestration, trim, building materials and offsets in building facades, a density bonus of 1.0 D.U./acre will be added to the density calculation.
(5) If wider sidewalks (minimum of six feet in width), multipurpose paths or bicycle trails (minimum of eight feet in width) are provided throughout the development, a density bonus of one- half D.U./acre will be added to the density calculation. Also, two square feet of additional commercial floor area may be constructed for each lineal foot of wider sidewalk, walking path or bicycle trail.
(6) If open space is provided, a density bonus of one-fourth D.U./acre will be added to the density calculation for each ten acres of open space provided above the minimum. A minimum of ten acres of open space must be provided to qualify for a density bonus. Also, 500 square feet of additional commercial floor area may be constructed for each acre of open space. Open spaces shall be contiguous and yard and other setback areas shall not be calculated in determining acreage of open space. Areas designated as part of any golf course may not be used in calculating open spaces or park space when determining density bonuses.
(7) If park space is provided, a density bonus of 1.0 D.U./acre will be added to the density calculation for each five acres of park space provided above the minimum. A minimum of five acres of park space must be provided to qualify for a density bonus. Also, 1,000 square feet of additional commercial floor area may be constructed for each acre of park space. Park spaces should consist of both active and passive recreation opportunities and must be a minimum of two contiguous acres in size.
