At least half of the required common space must be developed for recreational purposes. The district provides for greater efficiency of land development than in a conventional development of single-family housing, thus passing along reduced development costs in the form of savings to the homebuyer. Residents also enjoy the sharing of common facilities within the development and less home maintenance than incurred by conventional housing subdivisions. The RP district also provides for institutional and accessory uses commonly associated with planned residential developments.

- Select desire dwelling type: Townhouse

Step 2. Calculate site area of tract

- Take gross area of tract zoned RP (from an on-site survey) .....35 acres

- Subtract non-contiguous land .....3 acres

- Subtract street rights-of-way ..... 2 acres

- Equals total site area: .....15 acres

Step 3. Calculate maximum number of dwellings

- Take total site area .....15 acres

-  Multiply by maximum density in dwelling units per acre ..... x 6 units
per acre

- Equals maximum number of dwellings (rounded to nearest whole number) .....90
townhouses

Step 4. Calculate minimum required open space
