CABARRUS COUNTY ZONDqG ORDINANCE Iow overall densities. Development includes the standard single family detached dwelling and other more intense forms of residential settlement such as townhouses as long as site sensitive design occurs. The site sensitive design concept is' carried out through period',hartco based standards on residential development with the technique of "clustering". In general, clustering is an arrangement of physical structures on land with an emphasis on retaining natural areas as open space. It is the primary way in which development can be successfully blended into the rural landscape. Rationale, This is a land use district created as a direct result of the County's systematic area planning process. As a reaction to the growth of the past decade (as much as 80% in some townships) many residents are anxious to see their areas retain the appeal that inspired the resident to make his/her original investment. This district helps implement a growth management philosophy before the fact rather than after. Even when the area has access to public utilities, the overall density will remain relatively low. In summary, the principle purpose of this district is to provide some land area in the County for a permanent country/rural residential life style.
