A. Number of residential units. When the calculation of residential density results in a fraction, with a fractional part that is less than one-half, the number of allowed dwelling units is rounded down to the whole number. If the fractional part is equal to or greater than one-half, the number of allowed dwelling units is rounded up to the next whole number. For example, assuming a minimum lot area per unit of 1,500 square feet and a 6,750 square foot lot, divide 6,750 by 1,500, which equals 4.5. The number of units allowed on the lot is 5 units (4.5 rounded up to the whole number 5). Notwithstanding this subsection, a project shall not exceed the maximum allowed number of units permitted under the general plan designation.
B. Number of housing units for housing trust fund calculation. When the calculation of housing units and fees related to the housing trust fund program in chapter 17.708 creates an obligation to construct a fractional housing unit, that fraction shall be rounded up to an additional unit.
C. Number of parking spaces. When the calculation of the number of parking spaces required for a given land use results in a fraction that is less than one-half, the number of parking spaces required is rounded down to the whole number. If the fraction is one-half or greater, the number of required spaces is rounded up to the next whole number. For example, to calculate the number of parking spaces for a 1,120 square foot building that requires one parking space for every 250 square feet, divide 1,120 by 250 (the number of square feet per required space), which equals 4.48. Since 4.48 is less than 4.5, the number of parking spaces required is 4. If the division equaled 4.5, the number of parking spaces required would equal 5.
