• (a) In cases where a minimum building site area is specified as part of the B district designation, the county may consider a density option for applications where a division of property would create parcels of less size than that specified in the zoning designation. Such a density option will allow for flexibility in parcel configuration and size while ensuring that the density of development

thereby considered does not exceed the density level possible by conventional application of the specified minimum building site criteria.

• (b) All projects applying the density option as per this section shall comply with the following provisions:

  • (1) The size of parcels proposed by the project applicant shall be designed in such a manner that the average acreage per parcel for all parcels created by the project is equal to or greater than the average building site area specified for the applicable zoning district.

  • (2) The proposed project shall include adequate measures to ensure that subsequent development of the project site or any portion thereof does not exceed the level of density otherwise permitted by development as per the specified minimum building site area, nor be inconsistent with the intent of the zoning. Such provisions may include, but are not limited to: rezoning of divided lands to a zoning district which precludes further development; notation of development restrictions on recorded land division maps or documents; and/or execution of a development restriction agreement between all parties of interest in the land being divided and the county. Such an agreement shall be reviewed as to form and content by the county counsel and the planning department to be binding upon all future owners, and shall be recorded in the official records of the county recorder's office. All subsequent conveyance documents of lands within the project site shall make appropriate acknowledgement of said development restrictions and/or agreement;

  • (3) In each case, the planning commission must make the following findings:

    • (a) Application of the density option is consistent with the general plan or applicable area plan;

    • (b) Application of the density option is consistent with the intent of the applicable zoning district and the intent of the specified minimum building site area;

• (c) The project proposed by application of the density option will not conflict with the character of development of the neighborhood in which the development is proposed.
