The established minimum lot size of 4,000 square feet is intended to mesh with the historic pattern of development, and is not intended to allow for new developments at residential densities higher than those set in that pattern. In any development where there may be a conflict between the minimum lot size allowance and the maximum net density, the maximum net density shall govern.
C. The construction of duplex homes is authorized on lots that are at least 10,000 square feet in area, provided the maximum net density calculation can be met.
D. A density increase of 50 percent is allowed for the construction of an adult retirement community, provided the resulting maximum net density will not exceed 18 du/ac for the development of an adult retirement community; otherwise the standard net density applies. (Ord. 2063 § 8, 2023; Ord. 1912 § 1, 2017; Ord. 1750 § 7, 2010; Ord. 1405 § 2, 1999).
