6.5.3 Residential Density
A. Maximum Residential Density
Residential density shall not exceed the maximum densities as set forth in paragraph 6.5.1A, Dimensional Standards, unless a project provides for vertical integration of uses with at least 65% of the total floor area allocated to residential uses and at least 75% of the ground floor allocated for nonresidential uses. Projects which meet this requirement may increase their residential density by up to 50%.
B. Lot Averaging
Lot area averaging, as more specifically set forth in Sec. 7.1, Housing Types, is permitted, provided that:
1. The maximum reduction allowed is 15% of the minimum lot area;
2. The average area of all lots in the subdivision meets or exceeds the minimum lot area; and
3. The overall density of the subdivision does not exceed the maximum permitted residential density.
C. For single-family and two-family developments, the density requirements in paragraph 6.5.1A, Dimensional Standards, do not apply if the project does not require subdivision or site plan approval.
