Definition: Intensity describes the degree or scale of development or activity on a site, often measured by floor area, lot coverage, or other use-specific standards.
Example
A nonresidential development standard limits building floor area relative to site area.
Keep the distinction clear
Intensity is broader than traffic volume. Residential density counts dwelling units per area; intensity measures depend on the governing plan or code.
