A. Special Requirements for Single Family Open Space Cluster Zone SF-CZ Each application shall be on a form prescribed by the Zoning Commission and shall include a site plan prepared in accordance with Section 11000 of the Zoning Regulations. In passing upon any application for such development, the Zoning Commission shall also consider the factors set forth in Section 11 of the Zoning Regulations. The Zoning Commission may grant a Zone Change permitting a single-family open space cluster development under this Section provided that it has made specific findings of fact that all of the criteria noted below are met by the development. Exclusive Use Areas (EUAs) may be converted to fee simple lots after approval of an application filed pursuant to this Section 11 in accordance with these regulations and by approval of a subdivision plan, by the Planning Commission, provided however, that a simultaneous application for subdivision approval has been filed with the Planning Commission by the applicant. If a request for subdivision is not filed simultaneously with the zoning application then future subdivision of the property is prohibited. 1. The development shall consist of single-family houses used for residential purposes and shown on the approved site plan. 2. The total area of the development shall be at least 10 acres under single ownership. 24 | P a g e 3. Coverage of any Exclusive Use Area by the structures proposed to be constructed thereon, shall not exceed twenty-five (25%) percent of the area of the EUA, unless specifically permitted by the Zoning Commission, by means of Special Exception, after consideration of the standard set forth in Section11.2; but in no event may the lot coverage exceed thirty seven and one half (37.5%) percent. 4. The dwelling unit density shall be no greater than the density permitted by these Regulations in the underlying residential zone. The specific number of dwelling units permitted will be determined by the Zoning Commission, after evaluating the results of two methods of computing density. The first method is the density resulting from a schematic subdivision layout that complies with the lot configuration for the zone and any other provisions as required by the Subdivision Regulations and deleting areas for the development of structures covered by floodplain and wetlands. Twenty percent of the total site should be shown as open space. The second is the density resulting from a calculation prepared in accordance with the formula below.
