Land Use & Zoning
In Colorado, a 'cluster development' zoning technique allows:
AA. Only commercial development in residential areas
BB. Grouping homes on smaller lots in one portion of a parcel, preserving the remainder as open space✓ Correct
CC. Building more units than allowed by base density on the entire site
DD. Only senior housing developments
Explanation
Cluster development (or conservation subdivision design) concentrates residential units on a portion of the site with smaller individual lot sizes, while dedicating the remaining land as shared open space. The overall density remains the same as conventional development, but the arrangement preserves natural features and creates community green space.
