§ 34-533. Rules and procedure for awarding incentive bonuses.

(a)

How to read section 34-531. Each development quality listed in the column headings qualifies for all of the bonuses highlighted in the column.

(b)

Bonuses are cumulative . This means that all of the bonuses that are awarded in section 34-531 for a particular development quality apply in addition to the bonuses earned for providing other qualifying development characteristics. However, the sum total of bonuses shall need exceed the maximum values of section 34-562. For example, there are multiple ways to qualify for impervious surface area bonuses. The combined bonuses would easily exceed 100 percent impervious area. However, section 34-562 limits the maximum impervious area with incentive bonuses to 95 percent of the lot area. Therefore, the combined bonuses would be capped at 95 percent.

(c)

Incentive bonus award procedures. Bonuses are awarded at the time of site plan approval. The bonuses remain valid for as long as the site plan remains valid.

(d)

Sustainable development incentive bonus. Special rules and procedures apply to this bonus, as detailed in section 34-534.
