In all R Districts, the Planning Commission in approving subdivision plats, may permit modifications in lot area, lot width, yards (building restriction areas) including zero lot lines, or other requirements. Use regulations are governed by the zoning district in which the development is located. Cluster development is not permitted unless public water and public sewer are provided. However, if public water cannot be feasibly provided or is not readily available and the developer can prove that individual water supplies are feasible by providing a hydrogeologic study and drilling sufficient test wells, then the Planning Commission may approve a cluster development with public sewer and individual well with a minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet. In the event that cluster development is approved by the Planning Commission using individual wells, no building permits shall be issued for any lot until after a well has been drilled and approved by the Frederick County Health Department under its regulations.
