[Amended 3-3-2004 by Ord.
No. 04-001]
This article sets forth detailed descriptions of the residential zoning districts and their respective dimensional and bulk regulations, requirements, and design standards. The various open space subdivision or open space condominium options indicated within some of the residential zoning districts are open space ratio, or OSR, driven. While the overall maximum gross density stays essentially the same within each residential zoning district for each option within a specific residential zoning district, as the minimum OSR increases, the maximum permitted net density increases. Under the conventional subdivision and other options presented for each residential zoning district, the site intensity and capacity calculations, as well as the natural resource protection standards and guidelines set forth in Articles
VIII and
XV of this chapter, shall be adhered to. The residential zoning districts are generally organized into a residential density hierarchy.
