(i) Gross density of 4.0 RAC with 30 percent cluster open space.
2) Low Intensity Urban 1.2:
(a) Minimum - (none)
(b) Maximum - 1.2 RAC. The maximum gross density may be increased in
accordance with the following cluster options:
(i) Gross density of 2.5 RAC with 30 percent cluster open space, plus

3) Low Intensity Urban 0.5:
(a) Minimum - (none)
(b) Maximum - 0.5 RAC. The maximum gross density may be increased in
accordance with the following cluster options:
(i) Gross density of 1.2 RAC with 30 percent cluster open space, plus
20 percent natural open space; or
(ii) Gross density of 2.5 RAC with 30 percent cluster open space, plus
35 percent natural open space.
4) Low Intensity Urban 0.3:
(a) Minimum - (none)
(b) Maximum - 0.3 RAC. The maximum gross density may be increased in
accordance with the following cluster options:
(i) Gross density of 0.7 RAC with 30 percent cluster open space, plus
20 percent natural open space, or
(ii) Gross density of 1.2 RAC with 30 percent cluster open space, plus
40 percent natural open space.
(c) Zoning Districts:
1) Within Low Intensity Urban 3.0 and Low Intensity Urban 1.2, only
the following zoning districts shall be deemed in conformance with the
land use plan, except as provided for under Section 18.89.060D major
