Any combination or cluster of housing units is permitted, provided that the average lot area per family or dwelling unit contained in the site, exclusive of the area of street rights-of- way, parking areas and commercial areas, will not be less than eighty-percent of the lot area per family required in Chapters 1242, 1244, 1246 and 1248, depending upon the type (i.e. single-family attached or detached, two-family, multi-family or a mixture, etc.) of planned residential development being proposed. This density requirement may be varied at the discretion of the Planning Commission and City Council if it can be demonstrated that a variance is necessary to achieve an improved site design and that the surrounding neighborhoods and public facilities will not be adversely affected.
