Land Use & Zoning

In Montana, 'cluster development' as a land use technique allows developers to:

ABuild at higher densities without any open space requirements
BConcentrate development on a portion of a site while preserving the remainder as open space, often allowing the same overall number of units as conventional development✓ Correct
CBuild commercial uses within residential zones
DCluster all utilities in one area while leaving the rest undeveloped

Explanation

Cluster development concentrates buildings on a smaller portion of the site (often with smaller lots), preserving the remainder as open space. This can maintain overall density while providing more usable open space and protecting sensitive areas.
