§ 10-276. Modification of zoning requirements.

(a)

Density.

(1)

If the PUD is located in more than one residential land use district, the total allowed number of units is calculated by adding the number of units allowed in each district. However, the units may be placed within the PUD without regard to the district boundaries.

(2)

The applicant may request a bonus in the number of dwelling units per acre by up to 20 percent above that allowed by the underlying land use district, based on the gross land area of the project, provided that the superior design of the development offsets the potential adverse impacts of the increase in density on the surrounding area.

(b)

Height. The applicant may request a modification of building height restrictions, provided that the proposed arrangement of structures does not unreasonably impair the sun exposure or views from the adjacent properties as compared to a lot-by-lot development pattern. Required with this request is a drawing showing significant views and vistas from the proposed site, and those from adjacent properties that may be blocked or impaired by the proposed height restrictions.

(c)

Other dimensional requirements. The applicant may request a modification of any dimensional requirement if the resulting site development plan complies with the decision criteria for PUD.
