BUILDING ENVELOPE The two-dimensional space within which a structure(s) is permitted to be built on a lot.
CLUSTER A residential development technique that concentrates individual lots on part of the site to allow the remaining
land to be used for recreation, common open space, and the preservation of environmentally-sensitive features such as
wildlife habitat, riparian zones and agricultural lands. If a CLUSTER development is proposed on agricultural lands, the
land shall be currently used or capable of being used for agricultural production such as farming and ranching operations
for the next forty(40)years. The intent of the Agriculture (A)Zone District as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance, the
Comprehensive Plan including the Right to Farm Covenant, the PUD Ordinance, and the Subdivision Ordinance shall be
met. A CLUSTER development may be used in URBAN and NON-URBAN AREAS.
CONSERVATION EASEMENT- The grant of a property right stipulating that the described land will remain in its natural
state and preclude future or additional development. The easement removes the development rights to the land, but the
landowner still holds the title to the property, the right to restrict public access, and the right to sell, give, or transfer
ownership of the property.
