1273.04 AREA AND DENSITY REGULATIONS.
   See Table 1 and Table 2 (Schedules of Area, Yard and Height Regulations) following the text of this chapter. Overall density of the development shall be limited by the Rural Residential option selected. Actual minimum lot sizes and dimensions will be determined by the physical characteristics of the parcel to be developed. A site development evaluation (SDE) will be submitted by the developer for each parcel to be developed. The SDE will analyze the impact that the critical physical characteristics enumerated in Section 1273.01 will have on potential developments. Based on these impacts, a Rural Residential option can be selected. Rural Residential Villages will be permitted only on parcels where the RR-2 or RR-3 option is not feasible. If the SDE shows that full size lots are not possible, then lot sizes may be reduced to no less than the minimum (shown in Table 2) to allow the total number of permitted lots to occupy the developable portions of the parcel.
   (a)   Rural Residential Village (RR-V). There shall be a maximum overall density of one lot for each one acre of development area, with a minimum development parcel of fifteen acres.
   (b)   Rural Residential-2 (RR-2). There shall be a maximum overall density of one lot for each two acres of development area.
      (1)   Grouping shall be permitted upon the approval of the Planning Commission of the group design and the submission of an SDE identifying developable lands within the parcel. Grouping shall be defined as an adjustment of lot sizes within RR-2 or RR-3 subdivisions to maintain those respective overall densities. Undevelopable lands shall be included in the larger lots. (See Figure 1 following the text of this chapter.)
      (2)   All subdivision preliminary plats shall show building envelopes and deed restricted lands. Any change in the proposed building envelope placement shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and the Building Department.
      (3)   No increase in density shall be permitted when using the grouping option.
   (c)   Rural Residential-3 (RR-3). There shall be a maximum overall density of one lot for each three acres of development area.
      (1)   Grouping shall be permitted upon the approval of the Planning Commission of the group design and the submission of an SDE identifying developable lands within the parcel. Grouping shall be defined as an adjustment of lot sizes within RR-2 or RR-3 subdivisions to maintain those respective overall densities. Undevelopable lands shall be included in the larger lots. (See Figure 1 following the text of this chapter.)
      (2)   All subdivision preliminary plats shall show building envelopes and deed restricted lands. Any change in the proposed building envelope placement shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and the Building Department.
      (3)   No increase in density shall be permitted when using the grouping option.
