The following requirements for site preparation, design and use of the project shall be imposed in the SF-RMP district as necessary to implement the goals and policies of the Fairfax General Plan.
(A) The minimum area required for a planned development shall be four acres of contiguous property unless the Planning Commission finds that property of less than four acres is suitable for planned development in accordance with all the provisions of this chapter.
(B) Where contiguous properties proposed for a planned development in accordance with the provisions of this chapter are under separate ownership, written consent of all participating property owners shall be filed with the Planning Director before any application for a planned development can be accepted by the town.
(C) (1) All projects must conform to the adopted Fairfax General Plan or to any accepted specific plan applicable to the area under consideration.
(2) A density shall be set, at the time the zoning is established, which is consistent with limitations imposed by site conditions, including natural resources, topographic and geological conditions, and the level of public services and road conditions that can reasonably be provided.
(3) The Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria in setting density:
(a) Extent of lands which are hazardous to life and property due to soils, geological, seismic or hydrological factors unless the hazards can be mitigated by minor modifications to existing land forms and vegetation; (These determinations must be based on the analysis of a licensed engineering geologist and/or civil engineer specializing in soils problems and hydrology.)
(b) The number of safe building sites which exist on the property; and
(c) The cumulative impact of the development on existing circulation and drainage systems.
(4) (a) Density shall be set for gross acreage. Hazardous lands may be excluded from the building area, but will be included in the calculation of gross density per acre.
(b) In cases where a portion of the property falls within two different categories in the General Plan, the Planning Commission shall determine an aggregate density based on the percentage of gross acreage in each category.
