Therefore in the Hillsborough "Open Space Area"*, the septic-tank based lot yield would not be the starting point for density bonuses in the Staff Alternative. Properties in this area developed under the Staff Alternative would start open space density bonuses at 101 lots per 100 acres (1.01 lots/acre) . In other words, all tracts in the "Open Space Area" would function as the last column in the bottom table on page 4 of the handout - as a tract with few constraints. A 100-acre tract in the "Open Space Area" would yield the following density bonuses for open-space development options: Staff Alternative - Hillsborough Open Space Area only. Option A: Conventional 101 lots on 100 acres Option B-1: 40% Open Space = 120 lots on 100 acres 20% Density Bonus (50% of (1. 2 lots/acre) design guidelines, "Fair" open space quality) Option B-2: 40% Open Space = 126 lots on 100 acres 25% Density Bonus (75% of (1.25 lots/acre) design guidelines, "Moderate" open space quality) Option B-3: 40% Open Space = 130 lots on 100 acres 30% Density Bonus (100% of (1. 3 lots/acre) design guidelines, "Good" open space quality) Since this was a question several citizens seemed interested in, I thought it best to followup with a clarifying letter. I hope that this letter has not created more confusion than it was meant to resolve. Again, it is important to note that the clarification provided here pertains only to the Planning Staff Alternative development options (page 4 of the handout) . It does not apply to the Rural Character development options - since they do not use septic tank lot yield to determine density. Thank you again for your input, and I apologize for not remembering this important point at the meeting.
