(a) The purpose of a cluster subdivision is to permit a reduction in lot dimensions, yards, building setbacks and area requirements in order to achieve a more useful pattern in open space and recreation areas accessible to the majority of the living units; to achieve a more efficient use of land than is generally derived through conventional development resulting in substantial savings through shorter utilities and streets; to encourage a development pattern which preserves and utilizes natural topography and geologic features, scenic vistas, trees and other vegetation, and prevents the disruption of natural drainage patterns.
(b) To provide use, site development, and open space standards for the Board of Zoning Appeals to follow in approving conditional use applications for cluster subdivisions.
