§ 8209-6.3. Additional population generated by subdivision.  


Latest version.
  • For the purpose of computing the additional population expected to be generated by any proposed subdivision, the following population density factors, based upon the 1990 Federal census, shall be used:

    (Am. Ord. 4083—12/20/94)

    (a)

    Single-family detached dwelling—3.21 persons per dwelling unit;

    (b)

    Multi-family dwelling—2.36 persons per dwelling unit;

    (Am.

    Ord. 4083—12/20/94)

    (c)

    Mobilehome—1.90 persons per dwelling unit.

    (Am. Ord. 4083—12/20/94)

    The additional population expected to be generated by any proposed subdivision shall be computed by (1) multiplying the number of each type of dwelling unit proposed for the subdivision by the appropriate density factor, (2) then adding the products, and (3) then subtracting from the sum a population credit equal to the number of persons who would have occupied the property if each lot which had existed thereon immediately prior to the subdivision had been developed with a single-family detached dwelling occupied by 3.21 persons. For example, a condominium conversion into five condominium dwelling units of a previously existing apartment building which is less than five years old and which, prior to conversion, contained five rental units on a single lot would generate an additional population of 8.59 persons (i.e., five multi-family dwelling units times a density factor of 2.36 persons per unit equals 11.80 persons from which the population credit for the preexisting single lot of 3.21 persons is subtracted to yield 8.59). As an additional example, a subdivision into five lots for which four single-family detached dwellings and one duplex are proposed on property which, prior to subdivision, consisted of three vacant lots would generate an additional population of 7.93 persons (i.e., four single-family detached dwelling units times a density factor of 3.21 persons per unit equals 12.84 persons and two multi-family dwelling units times a density factor of 2.36 persons per unit equals 4.72 persons for a total of 17.56 persons from which the population credit for the three preexisting lots of 9.63 persons is subtracted to yield 7.93).
