DENSITY.
A. DNSITY
1. Determination of allcnEd develotrrnnt
Density is the ra-unber of druellirg urits per net
acre. In Ehe C/OS ard R-1 zones, e:rh dr"elling
counts as ore mit. In che oEher zones, different-
size dvellings have 'tnit values'r as follor,,a :
Studio aparErent: 0.50 u'rit.
One-bedroqn dr^rclling: 0.66 writ,
Two-bedroqn dwelling: 1.00 unit.
Ihree-bedroan dr'relling: 1.50 urits.
Duelling with for:r or rrure bedroansl. Z.ffi rnits.
The follovring procedtre shall be used to deter
mire the m€r<inrm develcprenr allcryed on a given lot
or lard area:
a. Determine the anerage cross slope of the
site, as prwided in the Grading Ordinance. the
na<im-rn develogenr aflcr.Ed for each average
cross-lope category is as folloqn:
rigfrt-of-.ray dedicatd to the city. l{et area in-
cludes the area occupied by allovred ncrrresiderr

c. l'fultiply the resulting area (in *role ard
fractional acres) by Ehe npcinnm densiry allcred
(in mits per acre) according to the teble in
paragra$ a. above.
d. the resulEing nurber (in dr,e1ling tnits,
carried olt to Ehe nearest one-trundredth unit)
will be the ma<im-rn residential developrenE po-
tential. Any carbinaEicn of dwellirg types and
runbers rnay be developed, so lorg as their cqrr
bined unit values do not exceed Ehe na<imrn
potent ial .
2. Density transfer
a. Developrent potential nuy be Eransferred
'rrithin Ehe area covered by a planned developnenE
(PD) zcne, in conformance with the requirarents
of Section 9203.14.
b. I,*rere a porEion of a lot is rdthin a zone or

the lot is in an C/OS zcne, ard the portion
within the C/6 zone is not larp eno:gfi to al-
lcnr cne dvrellirg, the fractional dr"el1ing tnit
potential fron the C/6 zorie rnay be Eransferred
to the cther portion of the lot, without plarr
neddevelopnent rezoning.
3. Density averaging.
