Planned residential development is a technique wherein residential structures (semi- detached, detached, and multi-story) are arranged in closely related groups. It may also include land uses of a cultural, recreational, and commercial character to the extent that they are designed to serve the residents. Instead of spreading houses uniformly over an entire tract, cluster development occurs, creating higher densities in certain areas and preserving natural features in others. Under such planning, lot size is reduced and the land thus saved is used for common greens or open space.
