§ 6.7 Clustered Development Overlay District Ordinance Page 2 of 16
B. Promote cost savings in infrastructure installation and
maintenance by such techniques as reducing the distance
over which utilities, such as water and sewer lines, need to
be extended or by reducing the width or length of streets.

are applied as an "overlay zone" and subject to the rules of
the underlying Zoning District, in addition to the rules of the
Overlay District standards established under this Ordinance.
1. Development under this Ordinance applies to new
development and requires platting of individual Tots
within the development.
2. Where a conflict exists between the standards of the
underlying Zoning District and the Clustered
Development Overlay District, the standards
established under the Clustered Development Overlay
District Ordinance shall take precedence.
3. The standards provided under this Ordinance may only
be applied to a clustered development platted
developed, and constructed in accordance with this
Ordinance.

automatically renewable at the end of the established term
unless 51% of the members agree to dissolve the
association and the dissolution of the association is
approved by the City.
E. Platting or replatting of lots must not create flag lots or
inaccessible lots within the development. The portion of the

open space requirement, if incorporated into the
design of the clustered development property
boundaries.
b. Construction plans detailing the construction of the
Best Management ractices proposed onsite,
including target side slopes, depths, retention time,

allowance on a site. The impervious surface area from
which runoff is collected can be deducted from the maximum
allowable impervious surface allowance, provided that the
applicant is able to demonstrate the assimilation capacity
