17.14.080 UNIT EQUIVALENT DENSITY

A. Density of development is a factor of both number and the size of the structures built within a master planned development. Unit equivalents are used to better convey overall impacts of a project. B. As a physical limitation, total unit volume is a better determinant than number of units. Basing development density under the RR zone on a program of unit equivalents provides the county with clear expectations of the overall scope of development, yet enables the development flexibility to respond to changing market forces and demand. C. The unit equivalent structure outlined on the following page establishes the method for density determination within the RR zone: DENSITY DATA CHART Use Use Hotel room Hotel suite/1 bedroom apartment Hotel or multi-family - A Configuration Configuration A room not to exceed 500 sq. ft., which includes bathroom areas, but not corridors outside of the room or foyers.
