The purpose of the cluster method of development is to provide an optional method of development that encourages the provision of community open space for active or passive recreation as well as the preservation of trees. The cluster method provides for flexibility in lot layout and for variety in the types of residential buildings while preserving the same limitations on density of dwelling units per acre as normally permitted in the respective zones; protecting the character of existing neighborhoods; and providing open space for common use. In order to accomplish this purpose certain changes in lot areas and dimensions are permitted, a greater variety of building types is introduced in certain zones, and the use of this method of development and site plan approval for portions of such development are subject to approval by the Planning Board.
