Space Standards:  Not less than thirty (30%) of the entire lot to be developed shall be retained as “undeveloped” open space, unencumbered by buildings, parking lots, accessory structures, other impervious surfaces or other manmade improvements except those improvements that protect natural features and/or support undeveloped open space that can be used for lawns, gardens, landscaping, and human recreation.  Said undeveloped open space may include setback areas as defined in the zoning ordinance for each zoning district.”  Purpose is to match the exact wording as appears in the Site Plan Review regulations to create a balance of Undeveloped Open Space in the Commercial District.
