§ 3. Intensity of use.

When developing adjacent to an established residential development, the overall density of the new development in units/acre, lot sizes and dimensions, and building setbacks, and bulk shall be no greater than those of the existing neighborhood patterns adjoining the perimeter of the proposed development. The parameters of the new development may allow a transition to higher densities, smaller lot sizes, smaller setbacks and greater building bulk for dwellings that are interior to the district and do not directly abut adjoining development.

Residential infill developments in an NRD shall maintain an overall density that does not exceed 200 percent of the average surrounding residential development density at the perimeter of the designated NRD district if the petitioner can demonstrate that such density is consistent with the purpose of NRD district and will not negatively impact surrounding land values or efficient function of the infrastructure in the area.

Setback, building bulk, lot dimension standards and other site development requirements shall be established in the governing ordinance and shown on the approved site plan. If not specifically waived or substituted in the governing ordinance, all provisions of the underlying zoning and development regulations shall apply in the NRD.
