APPLICATION OF DENSITY/INTENSITY BONUSES

7.04.01: Each five points earned for residential development shall qualify for a two percent (2) increase in the maximum density allowed in residential development.

EXAMPLE: (DUs = Dwelling Units)

*Maximum DUs allowed/acre - 10
 Bonus Points Awarded - 12
 DUs Increase Factor - 12 divided by 5 = 2.4
 Bonus Percentage Factor - 2.4 X .02 = 5 %
 New Maximum DUs allowed - 105% X 10 = 10.5 DUs/acre

 

*Density in PUD designated districts may range from 0 DUs to 15 DUs per acre or higher.

7.04.02: Each five points earned for non-residential development shall qualify for an 0.10 additional FAR (Floor Area Ratio).

EXAMPLE:

Maximum Intensity/acre - 1.92 (FAR-three story bldg.)
Bonus Points Awarded - 12
FAR Increase Factor - 12 divided by 5 = 2.4
Bonus Percentage Factor - 2.4 X .10 = .24
New Maximum FAR - .24 + 1.92 = 2.16 FAR
