Code Section: 207.1

Subject: Dwelling unit density, mixed use

Effective Date: 12/91

Interpretation:

   This Section sets forth rules for calculating dwelling unit density. This Section does not indicate whether that portion of the lot on which nonresidential uses exist counts as lot area when calculating density. Since those sections which indicate density (207.4, 207.5, 208, 209.1, 215) simply state that the density shall be one dwelling unit per stated number of square feet of lot area, it has never been the policy to discount that lot area occupied by nonresidential use. Therefore, nonresidential uses present on a lot are to be ignored when calculating the dwelling unit density for that lot.
