17.52.300 Open space requirements.
This section is included in your selections.
To compensate for the decrease in lot size, the development shall set aside common open space. The amount of usable open space that must be provided shall be determined by:
A. Subtracting the required square footage requirement set forth in the underlying zoning district from the amount of each lot that is smaller than required; and then, adding together the results obtained for each lot.
B. Maintenance of common open space shall be assured by covenants or other permanent legal mechanisms acceptable to the city attorney. Such covenants shall determine maintenance responsi-bilites and a financial plan for their payment.
