Cluster development shall be permitted in the SRPD, RR-6, RR-5 and RR-4 Districts, subject to the following standards:
A. 
Minimum tract size: 40 gross acres.
B. 
Dwelling unit density. Parcels may be either contiguous or noncontiguous, as long as they are under single ownership or under the control of a common entity that will ultimately be subject to the regulations and limitations of the entire cluster development. The number of lots permitted shall be determined by the applicant submitting a conceptual subdivision plan utilizing conventional zoning and design standards, with sufficient information provided for the Board to determine a realistic lot yield from the subject property.
C. 
Minimum lot size. Lots in any cluster development shall average 1.25 acres, except in the SRPD District where the average shall be not less than 2.0 acres. In no case shall any building lot be less than 40,000 square feet, except that in the SRPD District the minimum shall be 1.5 acres. In no case shall any lot contain less than 40,000 square feet of buildable area.
D. 
Open space. Not less than 40% of the gross tract acreage shall be set aside as permanent common open space to be either dedicated to the Township of West Amwell for public use or privately owned and maintained. If a cluster development is proposed pursuant to a general development plan, and involves noncontiguous parcels, at least 75% of the overall development shall be open space and within developed portion or portions there shall be at least 30% open space. For the purpose of this section, open space may include passive recreation area, woodlands, active recreation areas, public open space and areas utilized for agriculture. The approving authority shall determine the amount, type and combination of open space within any proposed development, as a condition of approval.
