A. Requirements for All Developments
All developments shall have a total land area sufficient to meet all development design standards in this Code including, but not limited to, land required to provide setbacks from abutting rights-of-way, buffers, stormwater management, off street parking and circulation, protection of environmentally sensitive lands, and any other provisions which may require land area to be set aside.
B. Specific Requirements for Residential Development
There is no minimum lot area for individual lots within a residential development provided that all of the following requirements are met:
1. The land area for the total project is sufficient to meet standards of this Code as stated in paragraph A of this Section.
2. Gross density of the area shall not exceed that specified in the Section 2.02.02.
3. Land, exclusive of individual lots to be conveyed in fee simple ownership, shall be controlled and maintained through a condominium association, property owners’ association, or other similar provision, or may be conveyed to governmental or not-for-profit organizations. Recordable instruments providing for these common-ownership lands shall be submitted for review with the application for development plan review.
C. Treatment of Planned Unit Development
Because the impervious surface ratio is calculated for the gross site, a planned unit development may result in individual lots within a development project exceeding the impervious surface ratio, while other lots may be devoted entirely to open space. The Planning and Zoning Board may require, as a condition of approval, deed restrictions or covenants that guarantee the maintenance of such open space in perpetuity.
