Small Town Chelan: Density The comprehensive plan specifies a density for some zones and not others The zoning code gives minimum lot sizes or area per dwelling unit The City’s development standards also affect density Comprehensive Plan: Identify gross density per acre for each zone Gross density is more predictable and allows property owners and neighbors to understand what is possible Zoning Code: Match standards to Comp. Plan density Because not all sites are “regular” in shape or in constraints, some lot sizes or areas are made smaller Gross density controls (same as today) Comprehensive Plan CONSISTENTLY ADDRESS GROSS DENSITY Zoning Code MATCH TO COMP PLAN City Standards: Slope Density Chart REMOVE CHART – USE HILLSIDE DEV STDS Critical Areas Regulations RETAIN & UPDATE

Adding hillside development standards to minimize changes to natural landforms. Removing the slope-density chart.

Development Impacts Amending critical areas, grading, and hillside development standards per prior slides. Addressing weeds with dust control plans per prior slides.
