The minimum residential density may be calculated based on the net acreage (or area) of a parcel. Net area shall be calculated as the gross area of a lot minus: (A) any portion of the lot encumbered with a recorded access easement where that easement is for the use other than by the property owner (pedestrian, bicycle, or driveway easements); (B) public or private roadways dedicated as part of a subdivision approval; (C) recorded open space easements as part of the approval; and/or (D) biological, cultural, or open space resources and associated setbacks. Such a modification to the minimum residential density shall be reviewed and approved by the decision-making body. (Ord. 1116 § 5, 2018)
