The purpose of the Cluster (CL) combining district is to promote development of imaginative, well-designed residential and commercial developments which preserve open space, promote affordable housing, and maximize the use of shared public and private recreation facilities.

The regulations established by the CL district shall be in addition to the regulations of the base district with which the CL district is combined.
