(A) Generally. Should density computation be required for a land development project, except as specified for planned unit developments and mobile home parks, the following criteria shall be applied.
(B) Site acreage computation. In arriving at a gross acreage figure, the following lands shall not be considered as part of the gross acreage in computing the maximum number of lots and/or dwelling units that may be created:
(1) Land utilized by public utilities as easements for major facilities such as electric transmission lines, sewer lines, water mains or other similar lands which are not available to the owner because of such easement; and
(2) Maximum number of lots and/or dwelling units: after the total gross area available for development has been determined by the above procedure, the maximum number of lots and/or dwelling
units that may be approved shall be computed by subtracting from the total gross area available a fixed percentage of said total for street right-of-way purposes, and dividing the remaining net area available by the minimum lot area requirement of the zoning district in which the planned development is located. The fixed percentages for street right-of-way purposes to be subtracted from the total gross area available for development shall be determined according to the following schedule:
District Use | % of Project Area |
R (Single-Family detached) | 25 |
RM (Single-Family attached, two-family and multi-family) | 20 |
These percentages shall apply regardless of the amount of land actually required for street right-of-way | |
