      The average natural cross-slope ( ) shall be calculated for the entire or . If the is 15% or greater, Columns A, B, and D of Table 5.2-1 shall apply. If the minimum land area required for the or , based on the , is greater than the area of the or , natural areas may be designated on the or , in accordance with Section 5.2.6, to reduce the percentage. Such designated natural areas shall be excluded from the calculation but shall be included in the land area for the or . (See Figure 5.2-B)

Natural areas may be designated on the or in accordance with Section 5.2.6 to reduce the percentage. Such natural areas shall be excluded from the calculation but shall be included in the land area for the or . (See Figure 5.2-B)
         a.   If the land division requires a   , all areas of 15% or greater within the or , except within natural areas, shall be delineated. These sloped areas shall then determine the design of the according to the following standards.
            (1)   For any proposed within the where the areas of 15% or greater shall be located outside the , the minimum standards of the underlying apply. The may be redefined to exclude areas of steeper in order to comply with this standard. shall occur only within the and access to the . for access may cross a delineated sloped area.
            (2)   For any proposed within the where the contains areas of 15% or greater , the minimum size required for that shall be one unless a greater size is required by the underlying . The amount of permitted is indicated in Column D of Table 5.2-1, based on the area of the , Column B.

   C.   Flexible Lot Development (FLD)
   The purpose of the FLD in the HDZ is to preserve the sloped areas while encouraging on the flatter portions of a or . An FLD shall meet the standards of Section 8.7.3, as well as the following standards: (See Figure 5.2-C.)
      1.   All shall be located outside the 300-foot or and the protected area shall be preserved as a natural area as provided in Section 5.2.6, Natural Areas;
      2.   The FLD application may be used for either single- or multifamily . In order to apply the FLD, the of the area to be developed shall be less than 15%. This may require excluding steeper as natural areas in order to reduce the of the remaining portion. Such natural areas shall be excluded from the calculation but shall be included for and calculations. shall be regulated by the underlying , based on the entire area; and,
      3.   For property within the HDZ, sloped areas in excess of 15% with an area greater than or equal to 7,000 square feet shall be delineated and set aside as and designated as common area.
