(Ord. 1130, eff. 7-10-64)
(Ord. No. 1130-364, § 11(Exh. J), 8-24-15)
20.6 - Lot Area.#
The minimum lot area shall be five (5) acres.
(Ord. 1130, eff. 7-10-64)

20.9 - Minimum Pervious Area and Stormwater Requirements.#
A minimum of eighty (80) percent of each lot shall be pervious area, to be composed of landscaping, vegetated open space, or permeable paving materials, consistent with the provisions of Section 32.12 of the Zoning Ordinance, as that section may be amended from time to time. All development is also subject to the requirements of Chapter 27A (Stormwater Treatment Measures and Maintenance Program) of the Municipal Code, as that chapter may be amended from time to time. The minimum pervious area requirement may be reduced to not less than forty (40) percent by the Zoning Administrator upon a request for a conditional use permit, subject to an additional finding that other proposed stormwater treatment methods are adequate to comply with the provisions of Section 32.12 of the Zoning Ordinance and Chapter 27A of the Municipal Code. Such alternate stormwater treatment methods must be determined by the Engineering and Construction Division to reduce stormwater pollutants to an equivalent or greater level than would be achieved providing the required pervious area.
