The maximum impervious coverage for the entire development tract shall be equal to that otherwise permitted in the BP District, except that lots reduced in size to a minimum of 2.5 acres may increase their individual impervious coverage to a maximum of 75%. Such increases shall be offset by decreases of equal or greater impervious coverage on remaining lots so that the maximum impervious coverage permitted on the entire development tract is maintained.

Purpose. The purpose of the elder cottage housing opportunity unit is to provide extended family housing as a residential accessory structure on a lot with a principal residential structure. ECHO housing shall provide an alternative to nursing home and boarding home care so that immediate elderly relatives may live nearby but not in the same housing unit as younger immediate relatives.
