241 <br /> 8 Article 29 <br /> Section 9. Residential Developments <br /> (See also subparagraph 7.2.3 which requires that a minimum percentage of the required minimum lot area be <br /> in a contiguous developable site area.) <br /> 9.5 CLUS'T'ER SUBDIVISION,SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> 9.5.1 MEANING OF TERMS <br /> A"cluster subdivision"is a residential development with three or more dwelling units in which a tract of land <br /> is divided into: 1) lots for constructing dwellings in one or more groups and 2) common open space. The <br /> common open space may be in one or more locations and may separate groups of dwellings from each other. <br /> (See also the Definition,Cluster Subdivision.) <br /> A"special residential development"is a residential development with three or more dwelling units in which <br /> a tract of land is divided into: 1) one or more lots for constructing dwellings in one or more groups and 2) <br /> common open space.A"special residential development" may have one or more lots used for developments <br /> in: <br /> a. condominium ownership, <br /> b. cooperative ownership,or <br /> c. one ownership where individual dwelling units are rented. <br /> A "special residential development" is intended to provide greater flexibility than a cluster subdivision to <br /> respond to special site or development considerations. <br /> 9.5.2 OBJECTIVES <br /> The objectives of this section are to allow flexibility in the standards and procedures for residential <br /> development with three or more dwelling units that are a cluster subdivision or a special residential <br /> development to: <br /> a. promote development proposals based on an evaluation of the characteristics of individual sites that <br /> is difficult to achieve by applying pre-determined, largely geometric standards; <br /> b. promote the retention and enhancement of the outstanding natural features of open land and of <br /> existing man made enhancements to it; <br /> c. promote an improved design relationship between new buildings and public facilities and common open <br /> space; <br /> d. permit approval of a development based on an evaluation of the projected impacts of the development. <br /> 9.5.3 MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT BASED ON IMPACT <br /> 9.5.3.1 OBJECTIVE <br /> The objective of this section,and of section 9.6. Developments with Significant Public Benefit,is to base the <br /> amount of development allowed on the projected impacts of the development on the adjacent neighborhood <br /> and municipal facilities and services. <br /> 9.5.3.2 MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT BASED ON IMPACT <br /> The projected impacts of a cluster subdivision or a special residential development shall not be greater than <br /> the total projected impacts of one-family detached dwellings that could be constructed on individual lots in <br /> a conventional subdivision on the tract according to the procedure described in this section.The maximum <br /> development permitted in a cluster or special residential development may not exceed ANY of the total <br /> amu. <br /> :. :. ....E .. ,I.-...-..h..._ ...,.._......................... <...,.... - - -. ...- . -..-.. s >... 5 , r -.. i -... _.sz. ... . ,5 3...r.. ....A3 -!F zVLYv>:.-:,.. .....-.,. <br />
