§ 66-172. Definitions.

(a)

"Additional Dwelling Units" means the net increase in the number of dwelling units (as defined in the Sacramento County Zoning Code) on a parcel of real property. Additional Dwelling Units is the measure for development associated with the single family residential and multiple family residential land use types. Additional Dwelling Units (A ^U ) shall be calculated using the formula:

A ^U + NU - D - D , where

NU	=	the number of new dwelling units proposed to be constructed, improved or remodeled on or relocated to the parcel of real property by issuance of a building permit (or improvement plans for a mobilehome park); and
D	=	the number of dwelling units legally removed from the same parcel of real property by authorized demolition or relocation to another parcel, accidental destruction or natural disaster during the year preceding the owner's filing for the building permit; and
D	=	the number of dwelling units authorized to be removed prior to or during the construction for which the building permit is requested.

 

D and D shall be presumed to be zero unless the property owner has obtained or made application to obtain a valid demolition permit or permits or fire district report and presents substantial evidence to the Director with the filing indicating the number of dwelling units to be removed.

Existing dwelling units proposed to be retained on the parcel shall not be included in the calculation of additional dwelling units. Permits for residential accessory structures, additions, alterations, or repairs shall be exempt from this chapter unless the work authorized will result in an increase in the number of dwelling units on a parcel or real property.

(b)

"Additional Floor Area of Building" means the net increase in the floor area of the building as both terms are defined in the Uniform Building Code as adopted by the County of Sacramento (and as described in the building permit) on a parcel of real property. Additional Floor Area of Buildings is the measure for development associated with the commercial, business and professional, industrial, and industrial-office park land use types. Additional Floor Area of Buildings (A ^F ) shall be calculated using the following formula:

A ^F = NB - F - F , where

NB	=	the floor area in square feet of the building proposed to be constructed, improved or remodeled on or relocated to the parcel of real property by issuance of a building permit; and
F	=	the floor area in square feet of buildings legally removed from the same parcel of real property by authorized demolition or relocation to another parcel, accidental destruction or natural disaster during the year preceding the owner's filing for the building permit; and
F	=	the floor area in square feet of buildings authorized to be removed prior to, during, or immediately after the construction for which the building permit is requested.

 

F and F shall be presumed to be zero unless the property owner has obtained or made application to obtain a valid demolition permit or fire district report and presents substantial evidence to the Director with the filing indicating the floor area in square feet of buildings subject to demolition and the most recent use of that area. For cases in which maintaining continuous employment for non-residential land use types requires that demolition be deferred until after construction of the additional floor area of buildings, the Director shall have the authority to include in F the floor area of the deferred demolition.

Existing floor area of buildings proposed to be retained on the parcel shall not be included in the calculation of additional floor area of buildings. Permits for additions, alterations, or repairs shall be exempt from this chapter if the work authorized does not result in an increase in floor area of buildings on a parcel of real property.
