In the case o[conflict between tUotex and tables, the text shall govern. Additional subdivision requirements are established in YMC Title 14. B. Maximum Number ofDwelling Units Permitted per Net Residential Acre. Maximum number of dwelling units permitted per net residential acre is used to determine the maximum number of dwelling units permitted within a single subdivision, short subdivision, mobile home park, multifamily development, or planned residential development. This standard is intended to: 1. Assure that residential densities in new subdivisions, multifamily developments, or planned residential developments are compatible with the existing o,planned level ufpublic services and the density ofthe zoning district; 2. Permit the clustering ofdwelling units (when clustering occurs, open space shall bo provided inaccordance with YMC1�09.l30);and 3. Permit avariety ufresidential dwelling types within udevelopment. The following formula shall be used to determine the maximum number of dwelling units permitted for any particular subdivision, short subdivision, mobile home park, multifamily development orplanned residential development: THE MAXIMUM NUMBER 0FUNITS PERMITTED ONASITE = (the total site area inacres) - (the area ofstreets, hghts-of-way.and access easements, in acres) x(the maximum number ufdwelling units permitted per net residential acre). Any fraction oyadwelling unit shall borounded upmthe next whole number if one- half or over or down to the next whole number if less than one-half. Once approved under the provisions of this title, no subdivision, resubdivision, or short subdivision shall be further modified or divided in a manner that will raise the density of the subdivision beyond the maximum number ordwelling units permitted per net residential acre by Table 5-2; provided, that development exceeding the maximum number ofdwelling units per net residential acre may boallowed naccordance with Table 4-1.

C. Minimum Lot Size. Minimum lot size is the smallest lot size permitted inaparticular zoning district when land is subdivided, short platted, resubdivided, or when lot lines are adjusted.

The following are the minimum lot size requirements in the residential districts, except when the Yakima health district determines that a larger area is necessary for the safe installation of approved water supply and sewage disposal systems: 2. The smaller lot size for zero lot line, attached, and multifamily dwellings does not permit an increase in the maximum number of dwelling units per net residential acre established in subsection B of this section. Any lots created for zero lot line, attached, and multifamily dwellings shall be so designated on the face of the plat or short plat. 3. In the local business district, the minimum lot size is intended to maintain the character of the district and provide adequate space for off-street parking and landscaping. 4� The minimum lot sizes inthe small and large convenience center districts and industrial districts are intended to accommodate the large uses permitted in these districts and maintain vacant land in relatively large parcels that can be easily assembled when development isproposed.
