  § 68.301. Mix of Housing Types.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Housing Mix in All Types of Neighborhoods. Within each residential area, with the exception of ASD-1 residential, a mix of housing types is required. Housing types may vary by lot size and form. These criteria are intended to insure that homes integrate well with each other and share designs which make neighborhood streets safe and enjoyable to walk along. Lot sizes and patterns within a neighborhood shall be varied to avoid monotonous streetscapes and provide a diverse range of housing types. Each developer of more than fifteen (15) acres shall provide at least three (3) housing types. For example, larger building types on larger lots are encouraged on corners. Smaller lots are encouraged surrounding common open spaces.

    (b)

    Lot Sizes and Densities. The following figure summarizes approximate lot sizes and densities for a variety of housing types. Densities apply to gross developable acreage.
