1. Developers will be encouraged to include extra sound proofing where exterior walls front heavily traveled streets or commercial activity and to provide gas-burning fireplaces rather than wood-burning fireplaces in residential construction to increase energy efficiency and reduce air pollution hazards.

2. Housing within the R-12 Zone. At least 70 percent of the housing within the R-12 zone identified within the Southeast Redmond neighborhood shall be developed in accordance with site requirements and development standards of the R-12 zone. Up to 30 percent of the R-12 area may be developed in accordance with the site requirements and development standards of the R-8 zone. The transfer of residential density within the Southeast Redmond R-12 zone to allow a range of housing products no higher than 18 units per gross acre is permitted to encourage clustering of housing units and the incorporation of neighborhood amenities. These transfers shall not enable the entire housing area to exceed an average density of 12 units per gross acre except when density bonuses for affordable housing are used. Ground-oriented housing is strongly encouraged within this range of housing densities. (Ord. 2753)
