Sec. 8-9-1. - Incomplete development.

A. The development areas shown on Figure 8-2A are believed to be free of environmental constraints which would require development in such areas to be limited or which otherwise would render development infeasible. If, however, governmental or developmental standards or requirements constrain development within the development areas of a district due to extraordinary biotic, geologic or other hazard, or archaeologic or paleontologic constraints or limitations, the City shall transfer the development opportunities eliminated by such standards or conditions to other mutually acceptable locations.

B. If the total allowable development in any district is not constructed because the landowner and/or developer elects not to build to the allowable development intensity, except as provided in Section 8-22-1, the City shall not be required to transfer that balance/difference elsewhere.
