(2) The number of farm dwellings contained in each structure is not greater than permitted in the applicable zoning district; and
(3) Except where otherwise provided in this article, each existing and future farm dwelling is located as if the lot were subdivided in accordance with the agricultural site development plan, applicable provisions of this article, and the subdivision rules.
(d) This section does not apply to applications for more than six farm dwellings on a zoning lot, which must be processed under the established procedures for cluster housing, planned development housing, or subdivision.
