17.59.010 Intent.
The intent of the density credit transfer option is to permit greater flexibility in the allocation of residential density within a planned community development designation without exceeding the maximum density buildout as planned for. The density transfer credit option may provide for higher densities in areas posing the fewest environmental constraints and which also have available access to public transportation. To this end, desired goals of the density credit transfer option are to:
A. Protect areas identified as having environmentally sensitive areas or features by minimizing or avoiding impacts associated with residential development.
B. Supply quality affordable housing while providing access opportunities to local employment areas.
C. Promote more efficient provision of public services.
D. Locate higher density residential development in areas which are capable of supporting more intense uses. (Ord. 747 § 6, 1997).
