Although the area is capable <br />of handling higher densities of development, development is kept <br />at very low overall densities. Development includes only the <br />standard single family detached dwelling. The site sensitive <br />design concept is carried out through performance based standards <br />on residential development with the technique of "clustering ". In <br />general, clustering is an arrangement of physical structures on <br />land with an emphasis on retaining natural areas as open space. <br />It is the primary way in which development can be successfully <br />blended into the rural landscape. Densities permitted in the CR <br />district range from 1 unit per 2 acres if the Conventional <br />Subdivision option is used to 1 unit per acre if the Open Space <br />design option is used. The minimum lot size is one acre. The <br />
