An applicant who voluntarily builds at least 12.5 percent MPDUs in a development with 20 or fewer dwelling units may use the optional method development standards of Sec. 29-C-1.62, except: (1) any perimeter lot that is adjacent, abutting, or confronting one or more existing one-family detached dwellings must conform to the lot area and yard requirements of the standard method of development; (2) the MPDU buildings must be similar in size and height to the market rate dwellings in that development, and (3) the maximum percentage of townhouses must not exceed 40% of the total residential dwellings in that development; however, the Planning Board may approve a development in which up to 100 percent of the units consist of townhouses, if the Board finds that the increased use of townhouses is more desirable for environmental reasons and the increased use of townhouses is compatible with adjacent development.
