9 on the Flexible Development Options in making their recommendations and suggest the following modifications to Flexible Development to make it specific to the Stoney Creek area: 1. Use of density bonus of additional housing unit for every acre of open space preserved above the 33%minimum: • Up to 50%open space allows half of the bonus to be used in the area; and • open space in excess of 50%permits use of the bonus units wherever desired. 2. Where density bonuses can be used: • The lower intensity area is a sending area for density bonuses; • the intermediate intensity area is a sending md receiving area; • the higher intensity area is a receiving area; and • density bonuses created in the Stoney Creek area can be utilized as stated above, but density from other areas cannot be transferred into the area. 3. In the lower intensity areas, 50% of active recreation land will not count toward open space, although active recreation uses will continue to be permitted. 4. Expedited review and approval of projects that preserve large amounts of open space and enhance rural character should be included as an incentive. EXISTING /PROPOSED ORDINANCE/PLAN PROVISIONS: The last plan amendment in the area was adopted in July, 1988. The proposed Stoney Creek Small Area Plan will supersede this by introducing the three land use intensity levels discussed above. However,these will apply only in situation where landowner/developer chooses to use voluntary Flexible Development Options. Since no zoning changes are proposed, the zoning patterns as established by the current plan will remain in effect. ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE: PLANNING BOARD: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
