Division 2 — DENSITY REGULATIONS

The maximum number of dwelling units permitted within the exterior lot lines of any lot or building site shall be equal to the product of the total of the net lot area of such lot or building site expressed in acres multiplied by the maximum density designated by the applicable zone.

For example, the maximum permitted number of dwelling units for a building site with five (5) net acres in the R1 zone would be computed as follows:

Five (5) net acres of building site multiplied by the maximum density of seven (7) dwelling units per net acre for the R1 zone equals a maximum of thirty-five (35) permitted dwelling units on a five (5) net acre site.

A product with a fraction shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number of dwelling units. A product with a fraction of one-half (½) or less of a dwelling unit shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of dwelling units and a product with a fraction of more than one-half (½) of a dwelling unit shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of dwelling units provided that the product does not result in a density in excess of the maximum density allowed by the underlying zone. If rounding up to the nearest whole number would exceed the allowable maximum density of the underlying zone, then the product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
