(B) It is not intended that this type of subdivision be universally applied, but only where circumstances of natural features and land use make it appropriate, and of special benefit to the residents of the subdivision and surrounding area.
(C) Definitions. The below items, as contained in this section, shall have the following meaning(s):
GROSS PROJECT SIZE. The total acreage of the property under consideration for development, inclusive of all open space, parking areas, and rights-of-way (public and private).
