-14- 2. Development plans, subdivision plats, and zoning district approvals for the land within the SMRC and the land outside the SMRC shall be processed simultaneously. These approvals shall effect the transfer. 3. The land outside the SMRC to which residential density or land uses may not be transferred are as follows: a. within the outcrop of the Edwards and associated limestones (the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer), b. In an Historic District, c. In an area that contains land that slopes more than fifteen (15) percent, unless that land is to be used for recreational, agricultural, or open space/preservation purposes. d. On land that does not have the infrastructure to support the transferred density or land uses. 4. Refer to Section 200 and Section 600 of the Planned Development District, Article 1, Chapter 35 of the City Code for calculation of base density, land use, and bonuses to the base density authorized in the Planned Development District. Following are some examples of how transfer of development rights may be calculated through the use of the PDD. Examples: Two five-acre tracts of land. Tract A is an area of the SMRC with four acres of floodplain. Tract B is outside the SMRC and has no floodplain area and no other PDD bonuses. a. without the transfer from tract A, tract B's PDD authorized uses and densities are as follows: 1 .) Nonresidential uses = zero, because the tract is too small,it must be at least 10 acres. 2.) Residential density (5 acres x 6 units per acre) = 30 units. b. with the addition in transfer of all of the PDD's allowances from tract A to tract B, and all four acres of floodplain in tract A are left undeveloped, as shown on the PDD development plan for tract A, the authorized uses for tract B are as follows: 1 .) Nonresidential uses: Tract A Tract B 5 acres + 5 acres =10 acres x 25% = 2.5 acres
