SEC. 4.24.040 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The minimum average amount of net land area required
per dwelling unit in any subdivision is determined by the
following slope- density regulation:
(1) For the purpose of this section the average slope of
a lot or parcel shall be determined according to the
formula S = •00023 IL where:
S is the average slope in per cent.
I is the contour interval in feet.
L is the combined length of contour lines in feet.
A is the gross area in acres of the parcel or lot as
applicable.
In measuring the slope, a topographic base map shall
be used which meets the requirements for tentative
maps as specified in the Subdivision Ordinance.
Measurement along contours shall be made at contour
intervals not to exceed ten feet.
(2) Slope density -- the minimum land area per dwelling
unit shall not be less than "a" as determined by the
formula a = 1 where "S" is the average
1.089 - 0.017785
slope of the parcel in per cent. Where the average
slope is in excess of 50 per cent the minimum land area
per dwelling unit shall be 5.0 acres.

(3) The maximum number of dwelling units permitted in a
subdivision shall be determined by dividing the net
land area, excluding streets and private rights -of -way,
by the required minimum average land area per dwelling
unit and rounding down to the next whole number.
(4) In calculating the allowable number of dwelling units
in any subdivision, no parcel which can be further
subdivided under this section shall be included in
the net land area used in determining the maximum number
of dwelling units permitted. However, if the development
rights beyond one dwelling unit for such parcel are
dedicated to the Town, the parcel may be included.
(5) Where any lands in a parcel are in excess of 50 per cent
slope, such lands may be treated separately and the
number of dwelling units permissible on the 50 per
cent and over lands may be added to the number
permissible on the balance of the parcel to obtain the
total permissible on the entire parcel.
(6) For any subdivision approved under the regulations of
the HR zone after January 17, 1973 (the effective date
of Ordinance No. 1089), lot lines shall not be altered
so as to allow a greater number of dwelling units than
would have peen allowed by the slope density formula
for the entire parcel as it existed prior to subdivision.

area per dwelling unit). The minimum lot size is
