8.3.1 Purpose
This section provides an optional process and standards for cluster housing
development. The
section is intended to allow for new concepts of traditional single-family housing
development so
that variations of design may be allowed, provided that the net residential density
shall be no greater than permitted in the district in which the development is
proposed. This shall not be construed as granting variances to
relieve hardship. The intent is to develop less land area while allowing
the same number of housing units that would be permitted under a
conventional subdivision. This,
in turn, provides the Town with
a means of permanently protecting open
space, rural character, and important environmental resources such as
those identified in the Open
Space and Historic Resources Plan.
