Analysis Density Cluster subdivisions are allowed in both the A1 and Rla zoning districts on parcels 20 acres or larger and if at least 50% of the eligible land is kept as protected open space and a community septic system is utilized. The base density of a duster plat is based on the underlying zoning district density times an automatic density bonus for the septic system. The density equations are different for the two zoning districts. The A1 equation is as follows: (34.54/10 -- 3.45 lots) times an automatic density bonus, which in the A1 district is 2.15, (3.45 x 2.15 -- 7.43 lots). The Rla equation is as follows: (157.50/2.5 = 63 lots) times an automatic density bonus, which in the Rla district is 1.15, (63 x 1.15 -- 72.46 lots). With the bonus allowed for the clustered subdivision the applicant is allowed 80 lots (73.43 lots A1 + 72.465 lots Rla).
