Footnote *[b] references density standards that apply to a Dwelling, Flex Housing project that are identified in the Dimensional Standards Table (Section 102-633) for each respective zoning district. The density standard establishes a formula to identify the amount and type of housing development that can occur on a property. The formula is based on the following factors: the size (net area) of the lot (as calculated based on net developable acreage), the number of dwelling units, the number of dwelling structures, and the method used to manage wastewater, public sewer or a subsurface wastewater disposal system. In all cases, the maximum number of dwelling units that can be located in any single structure in a flex housing project is four dwelling units. Chapter 90, Site Plans, Article V, Board Review of a Multi-Family Housing or Flex Housing Project, identifies the process for Planning Board review of a Flex Housing project, and all Flex Housing projects must comply with the Chapter 102, Zoning, Article IX, Performance Standards, Division 7, Supplemental Performance Standards for a Multi-family Housing or Flex Housing Project. Certain Flex Housing projects are also subject to Planning Board review pursuant to the Chapter 102, Zoning, Article VI, Planned Unit Development standards.

These standards shall supplement the Nonresidential Development Standards identified in Article IX, Division 3 of this Chapter for the Route 3 Commercial zoning district.
(1) 
Amount of front setback for structures.
a. 
The minimum amount of front structure setback for any newly constructed structure shall be no less than 70 feet. This setback requirement shall supersede the amount of front structure setback identified in Section 102-633 Dimensional Table.
b. 
If the use occurs in a structure that was constructed prior to April 1, 2020, and said structure does not satisfy the setback requirement identified in Subsection (1)a above, no portion (excepting steps or a handicap accessible ramp) of the existing structure can be expanded into the nonconforming front setback area or to decrease the amount of front setback of the existing structure.
(2) 
Amount of front bufferyard.
a. 
The minimum amount of front bufferyard shall be no less than 60 feet. This bufferyard amount shall supersede the amount of front bufferyard identified in Section 102-1183 of the Article IX, Division 2, Nonresidential Development Standards for the Route 3 Commercial zoning district.
b. 
If the use occurs on a property in a structure that was constructed prior to April 1, 2020, and the property cannot satisfy the minimum front bufferyard requirement identified in Subsection (2)a above, the amount of the existing area that is devoted to the front bufferyard area cannot be reduced, except for locating improvements such as but not necessarily limited to an access drive, utilities and similar improvements.
(3) 
Amount of planting requirements for nonresidential uses. Plantings in the front bufferyard area shall provide effective and good quality screening, buffering, and landscaping for the buildings and parking areas on the property, so that the appearance of the buildings and parking areas are effectively "broken-up." The plantings shall include trees, shrubs and other vegetation. An applicant may use berms, fencing and other methods to supplement the plantings to assist in achieving the intent of this Subsection. An applicant shall present a planting plan that clearly depicts how the proposed plantings and other measures will achieve the purposes of this Subsection. This planting requirement shall supersede the planting requirement identified in Section 102-1186 of the Article IX, Division 2, Nonresidential Development Standards for the Route 3 Commercial zoning district.
(4) 
Nonresidential structural design requirements. When these Ordinance standards were first adopted in April 2020, the predominant use in Area 2 was residential housing. As such, existing residential structures that are converted to a retail or restaurant use shall retain their residential character, and newly constructed structures shall also reflect the characteristics and appearance of residential construction. These characteristics include but are not necessarily limited to: a pitched roof with a minimum 3/12 pitch, window and door openings that are residential in scale and that are located on the front facade of the building, and cladding materials appropriate to a residential structure. An applicant also may choose construction that resembles farm-house or barn construction; such as the main showroom building for Perry's Furniture. This building design requirement shall supersede the requirements identified in Section 102-1187 of the Article IX, Division 2, Nonresidential Development Standards for the Route 3 Commercial zoning district.

Dwelling, Flex housing, Residential 4, Route 3 Commercial, Office Park, and Route 137 Mixed Use zoning districts, if the property is connected to public sewer.
Flex Housing is an approach that is designed to allow an individual property owner flexibility in the maximum number of dwelling units, type of dwelling units, and number of dwelling structures that can be constructed on a property. The density standard for Flex Housing is based on the size (area) of the lot (as calculated using net developable acreage), the number of dwelling units, the number of dwelling structures, and the method used to manage wastewater, public sewer or a subsurface wastewater disposal system. The maximum number of dwelling units that can be constructed in any one structure is four, and the density standard shall be the same for a lot that has frontage on a road and for a back-lot, and shall be based on the standard for a lot that has road frontage.
In all cases, a Flex Housing project that involves the construction of three or more dwelling units shall require review by the Planning Board pursuant to Chapter 90, Site Plans, and in some cases, a Flex Housing project that involves the construction of two new dwelling units on a property shall require Planning Board review pursuant to Chapter 90, Site Plans; reference Chapter 90, Site Plans, Article V, Board Review of a Multi-Family Housing or Flex Housing Project. Also, if the amount of proposed development involves the construction of nine or more dwelling units and/or six or more dwelling structures, the Flex Housing project shall be subject to review pursuant to both the requirements of Chapter 90, Site Plans, and Chapter 102, Zoning, Article VI, Planned Unit Development (PUD).
