430.240 Density Transfers.
A. The purpose of this Section is to allow density accruing to portions of a property within the WQRA to be transferred outside the WQRA.
B. Development applications that request a density transfer must provide the following information:
(1) A map showing the net buildable area to which the density will be transferred.
(2) Calculations justifying the requested density increase.
C. Density transfers shall be allowed if the applicant demonstrates compliance with the following standards:
(1) The density proposed for the lot receiving the density is not increased to more than two (2) times the permitted density of the base zone. Fractional units shall be rounded down to the next whole number.
(2) Minimum density standards will not increase due to the density transfers.
D. The area of land contained in a WQRA may be excluded from the calculations for determining compliance with the zone’s minimum density requirements.
E. All standards of the base zone other than density requirements continue to apply.
F. Density transfers shall be recorded on the title of the lot in the WQRA and on the title of the transfer lot.
G. Once density is transferred from a lot in the WQRA, the density increase allocated to the transfer lot may not be transferred to any other lot.
