the regulations stated in (3) and (4) above, the amount of driveway area shall be proportioned to the residences based upon use of the driveway. (5) Photovoltaic Power Generation Facilities. A. That portion of the total area of land covered by structures not counted in paragraph (1) above supporting a Photovoltaic Power Generation Facilities that are connected to the Grid exceeding 500 square feet. B. An increase or credit of one square foot for every square foot of existing or proposed Photovoltaic Power Generation Facilities connected to the Grid, up to a maximum of 500 square feet; provided, however that the determination of the development area credit hereunder shall exclude any portion of the Photovoltaic Power Generation Facility that will be considered in determining a PV Credit under Title 8 Chapter 10 Energy. (c)Minimum MDA. The allowable development area on any parcel or lot shall not be reduced to less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet by application of the provisions of this section, except as set forth in Section 10-1.502(e) or except in the case of parcels or lots which have a Lot Unit Factor of .50 or less. Parcels or lots which have a Lot Unit Factor of .50 or less require a Conditional Development Permit and development area may be restricted below seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet as a condition of the permit. Maximum development area for lots which require a Conditional Development Permit shall be established as the maximum floor area allowed by Section 10-1.503(c) below, plus two thousand one hundred (2,100) square feet. The Site Development Authority may approve development area of up to a total of four thousand-five hundred (4,500) square feet for any lot or parcel without requiring a variance, so long as the findings for a Conditional Development Permit are made. (d) For any lot on which substantial areas of slope in excess of thirty (30%) percent constrain the allowable development area for the site, the lot unit factor and maximum development area may be calculated based solely on the flatter portion of the property, provided that: (1) the area used in the calculation results in a lot unit factor (LUF) in excess of 1.0 and provides a minimum of a one hundred sixty (160') foot diameter building circle within that area; (2) the remaining steep slopes excluded from the calculation are contiguous and placed in a conservation easement, prohibiting any construction, grading or development in perpetuity; and (3) driveway access to the building site is located outside of the conservation easement area. (e) The standards set forth in this section for maximum development area (MDA) are maximum standards. The City Council and Planning Commission have the discretion to apply stricter standards to reduce development area where site specific constraints dictate further limitations, such that the purposes of the ordinances and Design Guidelines are complied with. Some examples of site constraints include, but are not limited to, the shape or natural features of the lot, easements which restrict development, the potential for erosion, or high site visibility. 7of9
