gg. Street Density Credits
The intent of street density credits is to offset the impact caused by a required dedication or reservation of property for a proposed street as required by Land Development Ordinance and the adopted Comprehensive Transportation Plan. (1) Density Credits . Density credits shall be based only on the total amount of land dedicated as public right-of-way or reserved, and the credits shall only apply to the remaining portion of the same property proposed for development.
(2) Nontransferable . Density credits shall not be permitted to be transferred to any other parcel of land.
(3) Provisions for the Credit . Density credits may apply to the parcel of land located in a residential district that is adjacent to or intersects a proposed street identified on the Comprehensive Transportation Plan and approved by the Town Board of Commissioners as eligible for density credits.
