CABARRUS COUNq~Y ZONENG ORDhNANCE 1. CLUSTER NEIGHBORHOOD DEFINED. A neighborhood is defined by the outer perimeter of contiguous lotted areas or abutting roads and may contain lots,_jmd roads~-~d nei~'.borhccd opea space. Outer boundaries of each neighborhood must meet the setback requirements set fordx in Section 5-11. 23. SITING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS. AH duster neighborhoods must be sited in I such a way as to be not fully visible from the _plim~e by whiqh_ttkc_develo~!lt~ ~c~es~e_~ca~ide. When at all possible, either natural features such as tree stands or slight rises in topography will be retained to afford the motorist a rural view. When naturally occurring buffers are not available, a manmade buffel3~rd is acceptable. Several options are available to accomplish this end dependent upon the tmique characteristics of each site: a) Natural featur~esbuffers. Tree stands, vegetative fence lines, hedgerows, natural rises, or an5' other naturally occtwring visual buffer must be retained and~mc~.o_rl/.o_rat_ed~m.~to.~dev~lop_mg~_t propQsal~to protect the rural ~5ew from the roadway for a distance of at least b) Manmade buffers.
