Q:
What Is Cluster Development?
A: Cluster developments differ from traditional developments in several
ways. Cluster developments usually site homes on smaller lots and there
is less emphasis on minimum lot size. However, the total number of
homes, or density, on a given acreage does not necessarily increase over
that allowed in the traditional subdivision designs. The same number of
homes is clustered on a smaller portion of the total available land. The
remaining land, which would have been allocated to individual home
sites, is now converted into protected open space and shared by the
residents of the subdivision and possibly the entire
community...........
