One-family Residential Cluster District

The intent of the RCD one-family residential cluster district is to permit the development of one-family residential patterns which, through design innovation, will introduce flexibility so as to provide for the sound physical handling of site plans in situations where the normal subdivision approach would otherwise be unnecessarily restrictive.; RCD one-family residential cluster districts are intended for those areas having at least one of the following characteristics: An area generally parallel to, and generally not to exceed, 360 feet in depth on those un-subdivided parcels of land abutting a major thoroughfare or freeway of at least 120 ft of right-of-way width as indicated on the current City Master Thoroughfare Plan, so as to provide transition between such major thoroughfare and adjacent one-family detached housing on platted lots. The density in the cluster area shall not exceed 3.9 dwelling units per acre, including all residential roads, except as provided in Section 138-6.206 pertaining to floodplains, subaqueous areas, or wetlands.; An area generally parallel to, and generally not to exceed, 360 ft in depth on those un-subdivided parcels of land being so located as to provide transition between nonresidential or multiple-family districts and onefamily development. The density in the cluster area shall not exceed 3.0 dwelling units per acre, including all residential roads, except as provided in Section 138-6.206 pertaining to floodplains, subaqueous areas, or wetlands; An un-subdivided area which is found to be of such an unusual shape or which is found to contain unstable or generally unbuildable soil conditions or which is characterized by some other unusual physical or development factor which would make sound physical development under the normal residential subdivision approach, including lot size variation and subdivision open space plan, impractical. The following conditions shall exist: The natural land forms are so arranged th
