The purposes of this subchapter is to permit a reduction in lot dimensions, yards, building setbacks, and area requirements in order to achieve a more useful pattern in open space and recreation areas accessible to the majority of the living units, to achieve a more efficient use of land than is generally derived through conventional development resulting in substantial savings through shorter utilities and streets; to encourage a development pattern which preserves and utilizes natural topography and geologic features, scenic vistas, trees and other vegetation, and prevents the disruption of natural drainage patterns.
