1181.13 MAXIMUM TOTAL GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA PERMITTED.
   The total gross residential floor area within a planned unit development shall not exceed the maximum areas prescribed below for the respective corresponding districts:

   If the planned unit development is to be located in more than one existing residential district, the permitted gross floor area shall be separately determined for each portion of the gross site area that is in a separate district. These figures must then be combined to determine the total gross floor area that would be permitted on the site if developed under the district regulations. This total gross floor area shall then be divided by the total number of gross acres comprising the site to determine the gross floor area permitted per acre of land contained within the net site area.
