Title 16 SUBDIVISIONS
Chapter 16.72 CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT
16.72.030 Cluster development.
A. A cluster development is any
division of land that creates parcels containing less than thirty-five (35)
acres each, for single-family residential purposes only, where the tract is
being divided pursuant to a rural land use process and reserves at least
two-thirds of the total area of the tract for preservation of open space. No
rural land use process as authorized by this Section shall approve a cluster
development that would exceed one (1) residential unit for each
seventeen and one-half (17 1/2) acre increment.
B. As a condition of approving a
cluster development, a rural land use process shall require that the cluster
development plan to set aside land to preserve open space or to protect
wildlife or critical areas not permit development of such land for
perpetuity from the date the plan is approved.
