(A) The provision of incentives acknowledges the value and potential costs of incorporating certain design elements or open space within a residential neighborhood. The successful incorporation of the design incentives or open space could allow up to 10% of the residential units to develop at smaller minimum lot sizes and smaller lot frontages, as determined by the next more intense residential zoning district. (For example, an SF1 zoned residential development could be allowed to have the minimum lot area and lot frontage reduced to the minimums of the SF2 District for up to 10% of its units.) The incentives shall be reviewed by the TAC and the Planning and Zoning Administrator, which shall recommend to the Plan Commission approval or denial of the requested incentive.
(B) A density bonus may be approved if the developer:
(1) Provides additional usable open space in excess of the minimum requirements of § 8.15; and/or
(2) Exceeds the minimum design standards of § 7.18.
