Cluster housing is a method of saving land: either for permanent open space and other valued features or for future development. The draft Plan indicates both types. Staff referred to pages 81-83 of the draft Plan. Housing lots are made smaller and designed in a compact arrangement. The remaining land is then preserved, either temporarily or permanently. The number of lots doesn't change (unless future development is allowed). Less land is developed, more land is saved. Mayor Bergeson suggested staff use a different term for one of the types of clustering so the meaning is clear.
