therein may be specified by adding a numerical suffix to the zone

The numerical suffix shall indicate the gross
density per acre permissible within the zone, and shall be calcu-
lated by dividing or multiplying, as the case may be, the total
number of units permitted into or by the acreage involved,
including open space and roadways.
Unit shall be defined as a building or portion
thereof, designed for occupancy by one (1) family for residential
purposes and having cooking facilities.

requirements of the General Plan, any precise plans affecting the
area, and by the physical features of the area to be included
within the zoning district.

building site width or area or the maximum permitted building
height may be different from that set forth in the regulations
of the district if so specified on the zoning district map. Such

hyphen with the district symbol shall designate the
minimum required building site width in feet.

and enclosed by parentheses shall designate the minimum
required building site area. When the number is greater
