DENSITY TRANSFER
As noted earlier, the El Rancho del Rey Specific Plan is intended to allow for a degree of flexibility for SPA (sub-
area) Plans to respond to changing conditions, markets, or design issues. One aspect of this flexibility is the Density
Transfer provision which permits the transfer of residential units from one density category to another.
In the preparation of the SPA III Plan, a conscious effort was made to create a predominately single family detached
community which could be well integrated into the existing residential area. This effect resulted in the selection
of single family detached products for most of those parcels designed by the Specific Plan as 445 du/ac and all of
the parcels designated 6-8 du/ac, instead of the attached products which were included in the development character
descriptions.
In addition, the plan was designed for sensitivity to existing adjacent residential uses. This required that single
family detached products be located along nearly all edges of the project to be consistent with existing products.
