Sites with Density Ranges up to 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre Site development standards shall be as provided in PMC Chapter 18.84, as the specified density range corresponds to the nearest applicable Zoning District, as follows: Housing Element Density Range Corresponding PMC Zoning District for Application of Minimum Site Development Standards 2 dwelling units/acre or less R-1-20,000 More than 2 and up to 5 dwelling units/acre R-1-8,500 More than 5 and up to 8 dwelling units/acre R-1-6,500 B. Projects with Density Ranges greater than 8 and up to 29 Dwelling Units per Acre Note: Standards for these Sites are to be Developed] C.

Bicycle storage Page: 11 Author: Steve Subject: Note Date: 12/20/2022 8:21:30 AM The development standards laid out in the R-1-6,500 zoning district would be an impediment to developing a project at the upper end of the density range. With a minimum lot size of 6,500SF at 8 units per acre that requires a minimum of 52,000 SF of lot area just for the lots themselves, not including the land needed for public roads etc. Since an acre only has 43,560 SF it is obviously mathematically impossible to achieve a density of 7 units per acre, let alone 8 units per acre Author: Steve Subject: Note Date: 12/19/2022 3:50:57 PM This is not an objective standard as written....is it the lesser of 5 stories or 65' Attachment 4 - ODS Public Comments - 01-26-23 CC - Page 12
