20.37.300 Lot clustering and reserve tract.
20.37.305 Lot clustering.
M The purpose of lot clustering is to provide an alternative method of creating
economical building lots with spatially efficient sizes. Clustering is intended to reduce
development cost and increase energy infrastructure efficiency. (24 The clustering option is also
intended to help preserve open space and the character of areas, as well as and reduce total
impervious surface area, bier °by rcd„c:rs Reduction of total impervious surface area thereby
reduces Potential runoff while assuring continued viable, undeveloped natural vegetated
corridors for wildlife habitat, protection of watersheds, preservation of wetlands, preservation of
aesthetic values, including view corridors, and preservation of potential trail and recreation
areas.
20.37.310 Design standards.
The creation of new building lots, pursuant to this section, shall be subject to gevemed
by the following resema anded design standards:
(1) Clustered building lots may be only created through the subdivision, or short
subdivision process or binding site plan process.
(2) Building lots shall should be designed and located to thp fullest exteAt p9s6b49 to be
compatible with, and avoid disturbance of critical areas or other valuable or unique natural
features, as well as physical constraints of the site.
2001 Subarea Plan Implementation Exhibit A
ZON2002 -00013 Point Roberts Amendments Septernbe 23 2003
(3) Where- prastisa"Building sites shall should be arranged in a cluster or concentrated
pattern. The cluster subdivision shall aPA have no more than two common encroachments on
existing county roads unless site constraints require additional road access. The arrangement of
clustered building lots is intended to discourage development forms commonly known as linear,
straight -line or highway strip patterns.
(4) Common access to clustered building lots should be provided by cul -de -sac shell
IeRgth -reads or loop roads. In addition, interior streets shall be designed to allow access to the
"reserve tract" for the purpose of future approved development.
(5) In order to preserve rural character, the maximum number of lots in a lot cluster shall
be 16. Any number of lot clusters may be used
20.37.320 Open space reserve tract.
.321 For the purposes of this section, "open space reserve tract" is defined as that
portion of the subdivision or short subdivision set aside in accordance with this chapter, and

(1) After a site is iRitiall subdivided an pen space
reserve tractL-Ray shall be retained by the subdivider, conveyed to the ^ esidp_.,t'^
homeowners' association of the subdivision, or conveyed to a third party.
(2) The boundaries of the "open space reserve tract" may be altered only if subject -te -the
f^"^W'^^ ^^^"dens'^) he County finds that in developing adjacent tracts it would better help
to further the objectives listed in WCC 20.37.305(-2 above by altering the reserve tract and
increasing the area of reserve proportionately on the adjacent land being subdivided so that
there is no net reduction in reserve area; ^ ^a when the "^ r^^''° ^ Red by the ^
reserve - tract.
(3) The purpose definition of the open space reserve tract as stated above in section
20.37.321 , shall be recorded as a restriction
on the face of the final plat or short plat. The number of development
densities developable building s tes remaining (if any) on the reserve tract W th the - Fginet
paFSe. - Feserd, based on the gross density of the Parent parcel assigRed density, shall also be
recorded PFOFRiReRtly d splayed on the face of the final plat or short plat.
(4) That The above stated requirements (2) and to (3) shall be recorded as a deed
restriction on the face at the '' of filing of the final plat or short plat, and shall constitute an
agreement between Whatcom County and the current/future owner(ssl of record that shall run
with the land. Said deed restrictions may be amended by mutual agreement between said
parties after review for consistency and compliance with the Official Whatcom County Zoning
Ordinance, the Whatcom County Subdivision Ordinance, and the Whatcom County
Comprehensive Plan.
