164(with'P.U.D.).. 345 (with PUD) The number of units that the development shows (261) is less than the maximum number of units allowed on the development property than would be allowed (304/345) according to the 2001 Comprehensive Land Use Map. The Ponds development is either at or less than the maximum housing units planned for the low, medium, and high density areas on the parcel. The property contains 86.71 acres with 28.02 of these acres classified as wetlands. The preliminary plat shows a gross density of 3.01 units per acre. When the wetlands are factored out, the net density for the whole development is 4.47 units per acre. The following table shows how much space each type of land use proposes to use and its gross and net density.

The applicant has stated that although they exceed the maximum density on the apartment lot, they are under the total amount of units allowed in the area designated as high density on the 2001 Land Use Map. On the preliminary plat, the high density area has two land uses, townhomes and the apartment building. As indicated by the table below, under the development proposal, the designated high density area has a net density of just under 15 units per acre. The townhouse area within the designated high density area has a net density of 9.49 units per acre, while the apartment-building has a net density of 18.34 units per acre. Overall, the net density of the development within the high density residential area is 14.97 units per net acre. Townhomes 2.74 acres 26 9.49 units per acre Apartment Units 4.47 acres 82 18.34 units per acre Essentially, the applicant is asking to "borrow" density from the townhouse area and apply it to City Council/February 12, 2002 page 14 of 33 I I:
