The design criteria set forth in this section for single-family cluster developments are intended to provide considerable latitude and freedom to encourage variety in the arrangement of the bulk and shape of buildings, open space and landscape features. Dwelling units in SFC Districts may be arranged in various groups, courts, sequences or clusters, with open spaces organized and related to the dwellings so as to provide and to form a unified composition of buildings and space.
Although latitude in design is provided and encouraged, buildings in an SFC District shall be arranged and spaced in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) Each dwelling unit within an SFC District shall be set back not less than thirty feet from the nearest edge of the street or sidewalk pavement.
(b) Dwelling units in an SFC District shall be set back not less than thirty-five feet from any adjacent non-cluster single-family side lot line; fifty feet from any adjacent non-cluster single-family rear lot line; and twenty-five feet from any common open space boundary line. The Planning Commission may, however, vary said setback distance if it determines that the intent of this chapter will be adequately met.
(c) The minimum distance between detached single-family units and buildings in an SFC District shall be ten feet.
(d) Not more than three single-family cluster units may be attached in any building group.
(e) No roadways shall be constructed adjacent to existing residential home rear yards.
