Amend Page III, A-18 of Land Use Element:
--,
B. Residential Neighborhoods: Residential uses within the city and sphere of
influence are incorporated into a series of neighborhoods with densities ranging
from an average of 1 to 25 units per acre. Development within each density range
indicated below may exceed the density for each range if a development of
sufficient lesser density is provided to bring the overall density into the range.
Refer to Figure 2 for more definitive locations of the various densities throughout
the planning area.
The various neighborhood structures are indicated as follows:
Hi�h Density Nei�hborhoods are designated immediately adjacent to the
commercial area, the College of the Desert and major streets. These
neighborhoods would be developed at densities ranging from 7-25 units per acre.
Development within the high density neighborhoods could consist of a mixture of
apartments, condominiums and convertional detached housing developed under
specific development plans.
Projects within these neighborhoods will be classified into "market" and
"affordable". Market projects will generally be eligible for densities in the 7-15
unit per acre range. Affordable projects, those which provide at least 20% of their
units affordable by low income households may app1X for an affordable high density
designation (AHD) which will allow densities in the upper 15-25 d.u./acre range.
