15-9-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:

Cluster subdivisions are intended to allow flexibility in neighborhood and subdivision lot design by permitting the development of single-family and two-family dwellings on lots smaller than normally required for the zone in which the subdivision is located and by dedicating or reserving the land so saved to needed open space. It is not intended that this type of subdivision be universally applied, but only when circumstances or natural features and land use make it appropriate and of special benefit to the residents of the subdivision and surrounding area.

(Ord. 72-13, 7-6-1972)

15-9-2: GENERAL REGULATIONS:

   A.   Permitted Zones; Number Of Units: A cluster subdivision shall be a permitted use in R-1-10, R-1-8, R-1-6, and R-2 Zones and notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, the provisions as hereinafter set forth shall be applicable if any conflict exists; provided however, that no such cluster subdivision shall contain less than twenty five (25) dwelling units.

   B.   Minimum Lot Area Reduction: Where land is proposed for subdivisions into lots and a subdivider dedicates or permanently reserves land within the subdivision for recreational use or open space, a reduction in the minimum lot area required for the zone in which the cluster subdivision is located, may be approved by the Planning Commission, provided the provisions of this chapter are met; and further provided, that the cluster subdivision receives subdivision approval.
