An Open Space/Conservation Development shall not exceed the densities as set forth in this Section.
(a) Maximum Density. Except as provided for in subsection (c) below, the gross density in an Open Space/Conservation Development shall not exceed the maximum number of dwelling units per acre set forth in Schedule 1272.05 for the district in which the Open Space/Conservation Development is located. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted for a particular site shall be calculated by:
(1) Deducting any public right-of-way within the project boundary existing at the time the site plan is submitted; and,
(2) Multiplying the result of subsection (1) by the maximum number of dwelling units set forth in Schedule 1272.05.
(b) Maximum Number of Units on Any One (1) Acre. The number of units permitted on any one (1) acre of the site shall not exceed the units set forth in Schedule 1272.05. An imaginary square, approximately two hundred nine (209) feet by two hundred nine (209) feet, shall be used to determine the maximum number of units on any one (1) acre of the site.
OC-1 | OC-2 | |
(a) Maximum dwelling units per acre | 1.7 | 2.2 |
(b) Maximum net density on any one acre | 4(a) | 6(a) |
(a) If a density bonus is granted pursuant to Section 1272.05(c), the maximum net density on any one (1) acre may be increased as approved by the Planning Commission. | ||
(c) Density Bonus. The Planning Commission may permit a density bonus to increase the maximum density set forth in Schedule 1272.05. The maximum dwelling units per acre shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the permitted maximum given in Schedule 1275.05. Such density bonus may be permitted under the following circumstances:
(1) Protection of the ecologically highest quality natural areas such as those identified in the Fairlawn Comprehensive Plan Update: Cleveland-Massillon Road Area;
(2) Provision of storm water management techniques that maintain or enhance existing storm water management patterns, especially those identified in the Fairlawn Comprehensive Plan Update: Cleveland-Massillon Road Area;
(3) Restoration of natural resources to further buffer dwellings units from higher intensity development, such as discussed in the Fairlawn Comprehensive Plan Update: Cleveland- Massillon Road Area, and provision of greater buffers from the project boundary than required by this Chapter; or,
(4) Provision of greater amounts of open space than required by this Chapter to further the City's goals of creating conservation development in those areas identified with an Open Space/Conservation use designation in the Fairlawn Comprehensive Plan Update: Cleveland-Massillon Road Area.
