(A) Cluster developments shall meet all requirements for a subdivision/site plan and all other applicable Town ordinances, except in lot size, which is defined in this Section. Cluster subdivisions within the Jordan Lake watershed may be constructed without the standard curb and gutter required in other areas of Town. Alternative street designs may also be considered if such designs further protect on-site resources.
(B) Each structure shall be an element of an overall plan for site development. Only developments having a total site plan for structures shall be considered. The developer shall illustrate the placement of structures and the treatment of open spaces, trails, roads and parking, and existing vegetation to be retained, and in doing so shall take into consideration all requirements of this Ordinance.
(C) In order to determine the maximum number of lots permitted on a tract of land the net residential acreage shall be divided by the minimum lot size required in the Town. A high-density soil survey map, certified by a Registered Soil Scientist licensed by the State of North Carolina, shall be submitted. No structure shall be constructed on soil classified as being very poorly drained.
(D) At a minimum, lot sizes shall conform to the standards of the TR District (see Chapter 6) for single family detached or patio home development. If the zoning district allows for attached dwelling units, then lots smaller than 6,000 square feet shall be permitted.
(E) The total area of the common land within the development shall equal or exceed the sum of the areas by which any structure lots are reduced below the minimum lot area normally required in the area.
(F) Where possible structures shall be oriented with respect to scenic views, natural landscape features, topography of the site, solar energy, and natural drainage areas, in accordance with an overall plan for site development.
(G) There shall be no further subdivision of land. However, easements for public utilities may be permitted.
