In order to accomplish the clustering of residential lots, an applicant for a subdivision shall provide a standard yield plan and a cluster plan.

In its review of a cluster subdivision plan, the Planning Board shall consider the following:

The cluster subdivision plat must locate and arrange the residential lots so as to accomplish the following:

The unit yield shall in no case exceed the unit yield which could be permitted, in the Planning Board's judgment, were the land to be subdivided into a conventional plat conforming with the applicable bulk requirements of the Town Code, including requirements for right-of-way, drainage, access and conservation areas;

In the event the subject property is located in two or more zoning districts, the unit yield shall be limited to the cumulative density as derived from the more restrictive district in each proposed lot;

In the case of residential plats subject to cluster development as set forth in this section, the dwelling units permitted may be at the discretion of the Planning Board, detached, semidetached, attached, or located within multistory districts.

The application of the procedure prescribed by this article may result in a plat showing lands available for a park, recreation, open space or municipal purposes directly related to the plat. The Planning Board, as a condition of plat approval, may establish such conditions on the ownership, use and maintenance of such lands as it deems necessary to assure the preservation of such lands for their intended purposes. The open space created by the use of the provisions of this article must be clearly labeled on the subdivision map as to its use and the rights of the owners in the subdivision, as well as whether it is to be dedicated ultimately to the Town or other governmental body or to an approved private or conservation corporation or to a property owners' association or otherwise under conditions meeting with Planning Board approval. The details as to use and ownership of such open space are further to be set out in a declaration recorded by the owner or other appropriate instrument. Such open space is to be preserved in perpetuity, and the Planning Board may require an open space easement running to the Town as a condition of approval.

If said lands are to be offered for dedication to the Town, the Town Board may require that such conditions shall be approved by the Town Board before said plan shall be approved for filing. All or portions of open space may be dedicated to the Town or some other municipal corporation.

If the open space is not to be dedicated to the Town or other governmental authority or to an approved private or conservation corporation, the applicant, simultaneously with the filing of the map, must either create a property owners' association or neighborhood corporation embracing all property owners within the map and providing for adequate annual contributions for maintenance of said open space or otherwise satisfy the Planning Board with regard to the maintenance of said open space.
