§ 208-1707.   Determination of Site Capacity (all residential land uses).

A.         Individual site capacity is determined by calculating the net buildable site area.  For residential developments, the number of dwelling units permitted is determined by multiplying the net density factor by the net buildable site area.  Net density factors and district preservation ratios for residential districts are provided in § 208-1708.  The calculations are as follows:

 

 

 

Begin with

 

TOTAL RESOURCE PROTECTION LAND (derived from computations required in § 208-1704 and § 208-1705)
