1   The maximum percentage of one-family attached dwelling units, semidetached dwelling units, or townhouses allowed in a subdivision is:
      RE-2C and RE-1 zones: 30%
      R-200 and R-150 Zones: 40%;
      R-90 Zone: 50%;
      R-60 Zone: 60%.
The balance must be one-family detached dwelling units.  Except in the RE-1 and RE-2C Zones, however, the Planning Board may approve a development in which up to 100 percent of the total number of units are one-family attached dwelling units, one-family semidetached dwelling units, or townhouses upon a finding that a (1) proposed development is more desirable from an environmental perspective than development that would result from adherence to these percentage limits, or (2) limits on development at that site would not allow the applicant to achieve MPDUs under Chapter 25A on-site.  However, any increase in any dwelling unit type above the standard percentage allowed must achieve not less than the same level of compatibility as would exist if the development were constructed using the standard percentage of that type of dwelling unit. Any development that exceeds the maximum percentage of allowable dwelling unit types must be compatible with adjacent existing and approved development.
2   Provided that such a dwelling has minimum dimensions of 24 feet by 40 feet, a gable roof, and is permanently affixed to a foundation supporting the load-bearing framework of the mobile home and a foundation wall enclosing its entire perimeter in compliance with the provisions of chapter 8, title “Building,” of this Code. Such a mobile home must have its wheels, axles, transportation light and removable towing apparatus removed.
3   Not permitted in a townhouse, one-family attached dwelling unit, or mobile home.
4   Not permitted in a townhouse, one-family attached dwelling or mobile home. The owner must maintain a record of transient visitors and register the lodging with the Department. Minimum lot size for a lodging with more than 3 guest rooms is 2 acres.
5   In accordance with Executive Regulations and subject to the requirements enumerated in section 59-A-6.10.
6   The planning board may approve a smaller lot size for a townhouse, in accordance with the site plan criteria of section 59-D-3.4 and taking into account the following factors: the size of the unit, the number of units in a group, the proximity of the several groups of units to each other or an area of significant size at one location that will be maintained as common open space or public park land, the topography or other natural features of the site, or such other factors as the planning board deems appropriate and specifies in its approval. In approving smaller townhouse lots, the board may increase the amount of green space per dwelling unit prescribed in accordance with section 59-C-1.627.
7   For Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit lots designated as such on a site plan, the minimum lot area must not be less than 3,000 square feet and the setback from a public street must not be less than 15 feet. For each one-family detached dwelling unit with a lot area less than 3,500 square feet, 500 square feet of green area must be provided in the subdivision.
8   Required only for development that is served by public sewer service and where designated for sewer service in the applicable master plan.
