feasibilitv study and a conversion plan. Multi-family units which legally

RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY DISTRICTS may remain as a permitted
u~~.use.
C>
E.
These districts are intended to promote the development of multi-family
townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. .
All multifamily land use districts require a reduced density if the mini-
mum lot size for the district is' not met, and shall comply with maximum
densities provided in Table 04.02.

Planned Residential Development (PRO) including Oustered Sub-

Land use districts subject to Development Permit review. Attached and

lowing these types of developments is to promote residential amenities
beyond those expected in conventional residential developments, to
achieve greater flexibility in design, to encourage well planned neighbor-
hoods through creative and imaginative planning as a unit, to provide for
appropriate use of land which is sufficiently unique in its physical charac-
teristics or other circumstances to warrant special methods of develop-
ment, to reduce development probleIns in hillside areas and to preserve
areas of natural scenic beauty through the encouragement of integrated
planning and design.
1. Density
The underlying residential land use district or the Hillside Manage-
ment Overlay District shall determine the maximum number of
dwelling units allowed in a PRO or Small Lot Subdivision. Where
a parcel or parcels have more than one land use district, the maxi-
mum number of dwelling units shall be determined by adding
together the allowable density for each land use district area. Den-
sity transfer throughout the PRO project area is permitted for the
promotion of clustering units in those areas suited to development,
and thus preserving the open space and natural features of the site.
(See Hillside Management Overlay District for restrictions to on-
site density transfer.)
(
2. Minimum Lot Size
The minimum lot size for a detached single-family unit in a Small
Lot Subdivision shall be 5,000.square feet. PRO's may create lot
sizes to accommodate the creation of attached single-family dwell-
ing units or Clustered Subdivisions.

Structures shall not occupy more than 40% of the gross site area.
4. Structure HeightINumber of Attached Dwelling Units
Detached single-family structures shall not exceed 2-1/2 stories, or
35 feet. Attached single-family structures shall not exceed 3 stories
or 4:: feet. The maximum average number of single-family units at-
tacr.ed :n any mar~i.er to form a single structure shall be 6.
