AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA AMENDING
'SECTION 3A.24 OF ORDINANCE NS-3, PERTAINING TO DENSITY
AND SITE AREA OF THE HILLSIDE CONSERVATION
RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT
The City Council of the City of Saratoga does hereby
ordain as follows:
Section 3A.24 of Ordinance NS-3, the Zoning Ordinance,
is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Section 3A.24 - Site Density, Area and Building Sites
(a) Density (Maximum Dwelling Units per Area).
(1) Subject to the provision set forth in Subpara-
graph (a)!(5) of this Section 3A.24, the maximum number
of dwelling units (density) for each development shall
be determined by dividing the "net land area" of the
parcel being subdivided by the average acres per dwell-
ing unit rounding down to the next whole number. The
term "net land area," as used in this Article~ shall
mean that portion of the gross land area of the parcel
being subdivided remaining after deducting therefrom the
following:
(i) Those areas which are classified in the
City's geologic maps as Md Or Mrf; and
(ii) Any quarries, unless shown to be suitable
for development, as determined by a detailed
geotechnical analysis approved by the City geologist.
(2) The average acres per dwelling unit shall be
determined by the following slope/density formula:
average acres per = 1
dwelling unit (AC/DU) -~ 0.5 - .008S
where: S = average slope in percent,
rounded to nearest whole percent
(3) The average slope of the parcel being sub-
divided shall be determined by the following formula,
and rounded to the nearest whole percent:
/
Rev., 5/3/S2 -1-
Average = .00229 IL
Slope A
· where: I = contour interval in feet (at
'intervalsof not more than 5
feet)
L = combined length of contour
lines in scale
A = gross land area of parcel being
subdivided
The slope calculation shall be based upon the entire
gross land area of the parcel being subdivided.
(4) The following slope/density table generally
represents the average acres per dwelling unit deter-
mined by the slope/density formula set forth in subpara-
graph (a)(2) of this Section 3A.24. Such table is for
illustration purposes only and the slope/density formula
shall take precedence over the table_in all cases.

· Where the average slope of the gross. land area
exceeds 50 percent, each lot or building site
must be a~ least 10 acres.
(5) The City may require a reduction in the number
of dwelling units below the maximum number otherwise
permitted under Subparagraph (a)(1) of this Section
3A.24 if the City determines that such reduction is
necessary or appropriate by reason of site restrictions
or geologic hazards.
(6) Upon recordation of a final subdivision or
parcel map covering any land within the Northwestern
Hillsides Residential Zoning District, no lots or
Rev. 5/3/82 -2-
parcels shown on such map may thereafter be further
subdivided so as to increase the total density permitted
under this section for the entire subdivision or parcel
depicted on the final map.
(b) Minimum Site Area per Dwelling Unit. The minimum
site area per dwelling lunit shall be no less than 43,560
sSuare feet and the average acres for all dwelling units
1 h the parcel being subdivided shall be as determined by
wi t in
the slope/density formula set foth in subparagraph (a)(2) of
this Section 3A.24.
, (c) Location of Building Sites. The average natural
giade of the footprint underneath any home, swimming pool or
o~her structure shall not exceed 30 percent slope, and no
hgme, swimming pool or other structure shall be built upon a
s~ope which exceeds 40 percent natural slope at any location
u~der the structure between two 5 foot contour lines, except
that: (1) a variance pursuant to Article 17 may be granted
where the findings prescribed in Section 17.6 can be made,
a~d (ii) an exception under Section 15.2 of Ordinance NS-60,
t~e Subdivision Ordinance, may be granted."
