* Maximum density can only be achieved utilizing the Cluster Development subdivision design techniques provided in this chapter. | ||
(B) Planned Development Districts and Overlay Districts may allow for residential densities different from what is shown in the Residential Density Table above.
(C) Lot subdivision. For the purposes of lot subdivision and development, the densities provided herein shall only apply to parcels of land equal to or greater than one acre in size. The ability to subdivide parcels of land that are less than one acre in size will be controlled by minimum lot size and dimensional requirements of the zoning use district classification.
(D) Calculation of density. Density is calculated as the number of dwelling units per acre of land within the boundaries of a residential project, including lands or parcels designated for support of the development; that is, all areas for lots, parking areas, drives, roads, drainage and utility easements, or rights-of-way, sign easements, entrance structure easements, and lands designated for private recreation and includes freshwater wetlands, but does not include tidally influenced saltwater wetlands. Other land area located within a parcel's boundaries, but outside of the residential project boundaries not used for residential use, shall not be included for the purpose of calculating residential density; provided further, however, that in mixed use projects wherein nonresidential uses are provided in conjunction with, and are functionally integrated into, the residential uses, the total area within the project boundaries of all such uses may be used to calculate density.
