Description
Zoning; clustering. Requires that the comprehensive plan shall provide for clustering of single-family dwellings. Also, no clustering ordinance shall (i) prohibit extension of groundwater source systems to adjacent subdivisions; (ii) require permanent conservation areas; (iii) require such conservation areas to be excluded from the calculation of density in a cluster subdivision or exclude land in such conservation areas because of prior land disturbing activities; (iv) prohibit roads, parking areas, or stormwater management areas in such conservation areas; (v) require that lots shall directly abut the open space or a developed pathway providing direct access to such open space; (vi) require that dedications of conservation areas be contingent upon the locality approving who will own and maintain the conservation area; or (vii) require minimums for acreage and density, or other such zoning provisions that effectively frustrate the use of cluster zoning.
