15.20.040. Consistency with Greenbelt Concept of the General Plan.
   A.   For a residential development located within a Greenbelt Concept area, the PRD zone is intended to implement the goals and policies of the Greenbelt Concept designation in the Land Use Element of the Fullerton General Plan. This concept states, in part, as follows:
   "Residential development is to be designed in such a way as to limit the amount of grading required, employ contour grading where grading is necessary, be unobtrusive as viewed from the open spaces and surrounding areas, and contain those amenities that contribute to a feeling of open space. Such amenities could include large lots, small lots with large common areas, low densities, open recreational areas, internal greenbelts and trails, and other similar aesthetic treatments."
   B.   In accordance with the Greenbelt Concept, a PRD located in the General Plan Greenbelt Concept area will fall into one of the following three categories:
      1.   Single-family Greenbelt.
      Single-family Greenbelt includes developments of single-family detached dwelling units on lots of varying sizes. Internal open spaces in the form of greenbelts, trails and common recreational areas are provided with many of the privately owned facilities (see Figure 9A).

      2.   Detached Cluster:
      Detached Cluster includes those single-family, patio or other detached housing type developments where the units are clearly placed into greenbelt cluster environments with commonly owned open space (see Figure 9B). Greenbelts are dispersed with common pedestrian access between all dwelling units. A balance between private and common open spaces is maintained with a variety of recreational facilities contained in common open spaces.

      3.   Attached Cluster:
      Attached Cluster includes attached townhouse or duplex dwelling units arranged in large areas of open space with greenbelt connections between areas (see Figure 9C). A balance between private and common open spaces is still maintained, with a heavy emphasis placed on common open space and the recreational opportunities that are contained within them.
