7) All practical measures consistent with the City Drainage <br /> Ordinance shall be utilized where necessary to minimize the <br /> storm water runoff and soil erosion impacts of development. <br /> 8) Land use densities consistent with the City's comprehensive <br /> plan and underlying.' zoning shall be permitted when compatible <br /> with site conditions: however, in order to retain the sig- <br /> nificant natural features and stability of steep slopes <br /> and hillsides, the City may diminish densities as the slope <br /> of the terrain increases. In diminishing such densities <br /> the following table may be used as a guide, recognizing, <br /> however, that the individual facts of each case shall control. <br /> RESIDENTIAL DENSITY GUIDE FOR SLOPING LAND <br /> Potential Lot Yield (dwelling units/gross acre) <br /> Zoning <br /> 0-15% 16-20% 21-25% 26-35% ' 36%+ <br /> RS (12,500 sq. ft.) 2.8 2.8 2.8 1.8 .25 <br /> R-1 (7,000 sq. ft.) 5.0 4.0 2.8 1.8 .25 <br /> R-2 (5,000/7,500 sq. ft.) 7/10 5/8 3/5 2 .25 <br /> R-3 to R-5 (5,000 sq. ft. <br /> min. lot size) 7 lots 5 lots 3 lots 2 lots .25 <br /> 9) Substantial landscaping and natural groundcover shall be <br /> provided around all structures, parking areas and other <br /> cleared portions of the site in order to blend them with <br /> the natural landscape. <br /> 10) When development is to occur on or near areas which require <br /> preparation of an engineering feasibility study, in order <br /> to protect against the higher possibility of damage to <br /> lower properties including natural streams, drainage ways <br /> and private improvements, the City shall proceed as follows: <br /> a) The developer shall post a bond or other security <br /> in the amount of no less than 10% of the proposed <br /> gross price to be charged to ultimate users and/ <br /> or purchasers; to repair all damage resulting from <br /> erosion or slides or other earth movement which <br /> may occur as a result of construction. Examples <br /> of types of repair are: <br /> (1) Removal of all spoils or other debris <br /> which may have been deposited downslope <br /> from the development. <br /> (2) Re-establishment of slopes to a stable <br /> configuration by bulkheads, walls, rock- <br /> eries, additional plantings, etc. <br /> -3- <br />
