[Amended 7-19-11 by Ord. No. O-2011-017]

(1) The Planning Board finds that:

(a) Clustering of the proposed dwellings would be inconsistent with the minimum environmental standards set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:50-6; or

(b) Clustering of the proposed dwellings would disrupt the contiguity of the forest ecosystem to a greater degree than non-clustered development.

(2) The minimum area, yard and bulk requirements of Section 296-12 are met.

§ 296-51.7 Area, yard and bulk requirements.

A. Residential dwelling units proposed for development within the PR-5 District shall be subject to the area, yard and bulk requirements listed in Schedule 2, Area, Yard and Bulk Requirements for Residential Uses, found as an attachment to this chapter.

All development proposed within the PR-5 District shall conform with all applicable standards under Article XV of this chapter.
