A Model of Environmentally Conscious and Contextualized Development

80
of existing forest preserved
(10.16 acres of existing forest preserved, compared to other recent county projects which ranged from 14% to 72% of existing forest preserved; ultimately, Heritage Potomac plants many more trees than it removes)
76
green area with parks, walking trails, forest, and lawn
(50% required)
13
lot coverage
(% of site with buildings; 25% allowed)
84
less density than allowed
(calculated as 74 IL homes divided by 459 allowed at 15 units/acre in code; note: if entire project was assisted living then code would allow 1,110 beds on 30.6 acres – we provided only 96 beds, or 91% less density than allowed)

30K Square Feet Recovered

The Heritage Potomac project will recover over 30,000 square feet of existing impervious area, most of which is in the stream valley buffer, and convert it to parkland and reforestation area.
