§ 16-18K.007. Development controls.

1.

Bulk limitations: See SPI-11: Development Controls, Site Limitations, Sidewalks, Supplemental Zones and Front Yards Table for density and open space requirements. For purposes of this Chapter, and notwithstanding the provisions of section 16-29.001(24), mixed-use development is defined as any development which contains as principal uses both residential and non-residential uses on the same development site, and in which both of such uses are at least 20 percent of the total floor area, excluding accessory uses.

2.

Residential uses may utilize net lot area or gross lot area when calculating maximum permitted residential floor area, provided that Useable Open Space Requirements (UOSR) are calculated based on the same lot area. In Subareas 4, 5, 6 and 7 residential floor area shall be calculated utilizing the net lot area.

3.

Non-residential floor area shall be calculated utilizing the net lot area.

4.

Minimum open space requirements: When either the residential or non-residential component of the development is a minor use of less than 20 percent of the total floor area, minimum open space requirements do not apply to such minor use.

a.

For residential uses, including all residential components of mixed use developments: Open space requirements as indicated on Table I, "Land Use Intensity Ratios" shall be required for Useable Open Space (UOSR) only.

b.

(See section 16-28.012 for definitions and measurements. Required yards and requirements for sidewalk and supplemental zone widths which are constructed on private property may be counted towards this requirement. Such public space may include planted areas, fountains, plazas, hardscape elements related to sidewalks and plazas, and similar features which are located on private property.)

c.

For mixed-uses: The sum of minimum open space requirements specified in subsections a. and b. above for non-residential and residential shall be met, except that public space requirements may also be counted towards UOSR.
