20.550.030 Densities/Floor Area Ratios.
A. Minimum Residential Density. The minimum residential density within the Transit Overlay District shall be as established in Table 20.550.030-1, but shall not exceed twenty (20) dwelling units per acre.
B. Maximum Residential Density. The maximum residential density within the Transit Overlay District shall be as established in Table 20.550.030-1.
C. Minimum Floor Area Ratio for Non-residential Development. The minimum floor area ratio for nonresidential development within the Transit Overlay District shall be established in Tables 20.550.030-1 and 20.550.030-2. Except for the Downtown Activity Center the floor area ratio requirement may be phased-in on a site when a master plan is submitted which demonstrates that a site can meet the floor area ratio requirements at full build-out. Figure 20.550.030-2 shows the boundaries of areas in the Transit Overlay District with floor area ratio requirements. Refer to Section 20.260.070 for master planning requirements.
