 Article 27. TREE PRESERVATION AND REPLACEMENT ORDINANCE

  § 27.8. Density requirements.  

Latest version.

  • The quantity of total existing and replacement trees on a site must be sufficient so as to produce a total site density factor as follows: Trees should be distributed throughout the development and not located in only one area. Subsequent tree replacements are provided in appendix C.

    The required Site Density for each site shall be calculated by multiplying the total acreage of the site by the required site density factor for the appropriate zoning district (see article 7).

    District Site Density Factor (in units per acre)
    AG 20 (Platted new development only)
    TND 20
    R-80 20
    R-60 20
    R-40 20
    R-30 20
    R-20 19
    R-15 19
    R-3 18

    Example: SDF for a wooded site zoned R-40 is calculated by multiplying the total acres by 20 units per acre. A ten-acre site × 20 units per acre = 200 units.
