(A) In computing the number of multi-dwelling type units (including attached units) permitted for a given area of land, subtract the amount of land area in square feet required for the first dwelling unit from the total net land area and then divide the remainder by the amount of land required for each unit over one. The quotient plus one is the number of dwelling units permitted for the given area of land.
(B) For example, on a land area of 80,000 square feet located in the R-8MF, Residential District:
80,000 (total net land) (-) 8,000 (first dwelling unit) 72,000 (remainder) |
72,000 divided by 3,000 (each additional unit) = 24 |
24 + 1 = 25 |
(C) Therefore, 25 multi-family dwelling units may be placed on the 80,000 square foot property. Fractional units over one-half may be rounded to the next higher whole number when the base number of units is 20 or more.
(D) On projects with one building per lot, the computation must be repeated for each lot separately. On projects with more than one building on a lot, the computation need only be made one time.
