Clarkdale - Crowdbrite Solutions Redirect

Development Proposal
Project Description: A cluster/conservation development consisting of approximately 40% developed area, 30% wash/greenway, and 30% community facilities and common space. The project proposes to retain the existing wash and utilize the southern portion of the site for community facilities including a common/shared septic system. The north portion of the site along Lincoln Drive is proposed to be developed as per the current R4 Manufactured Home Residential Zoning.
The zoning bylaw defines “Cluster Development: A development design technique that concentrates buildings on a portion of the site to allow the remaining land to be used for recreation, open space or preservation of sensitive land areas." (Click Here)
