A.
Open space applicable to tracts of land consisting of 10 acres or
more land.
(1)
Not less than 25% of the total land area shall be designated as open
space.
(2)
No area designated as open space shall be smaller than 20,000 square
feet.
(3)
The open space shall be contiguous to lots within the cluster-designed development in conformity with § 200-75 of this chapter.
(4)
Consideration shall be given to the arrangement, location and landscaping
of the open space so as to address its aesthetic and spatial relationship
with the development clusters, the individual lots and the adjacent
land uses.
(5)
Open space should be arranged in such a manner so as to be within
easy access and view of the dwelling units while preserving and enhancing
the natural features and renewable resource potential of the site.
(6)
Ownership of open space as required by this chapter shall be held in such form in conformance with § 200-74B of this chapter.
(7)
All open space designated under this chapter shall be identified by the installation of a freestanding sign in accordance with § 200-83E(12) of this chapter.
B.
Table of performance standards. Lot area and density for uses other than farmland preservation development. All development shall be in accordance with the site capacity calculations, § 200-52, and the following requirements. These standards may be less strict than other standards in § 200-52; the strictest standards shall apply.

The maximum density on net buildable site area is determined
on the basis of the percentage of base site area with resource protection
land and open space. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted
on a particular tract shall not exceed the number of dwelling units
that could be constructed on the site given the development constraints
of the physical site and the otherwise applicable Township ordinance
requirements. A standard subdivision plan showing sufficient detail
to demonstrate the maximum number of dwelling units that could be
constructed on the site shall be provided to the Township and approved
by the Township engineer.

the maximum density on net buildable site area, the maximum number
of dwelling units permitted on a particular tract shall in no circumstance
be greater than the maximum number of dwelling units that actually
could be constructed on the site without open space clustering given
the development constraints of the physical site and the otherwise
applicable Township ordinance requirements. A plan showing sufficient
detail to demonstrate the maximum number of dwelling units that could
be constructed on the site shall be provided to the Township.
