future Master PUD review. C. Density -Flexibility requested: The maximum density for housing in the B-2 District is 20 units per acre. With the proposed subdivision, Lot 1 would be 5.985 acres in size. 153 units on that parcel would create a density of 25.6 units per acre. If a portion of units in the building were converted to one or two bedroom units this would reduce the project density. Section 1325— General Regulations A.
