Why Cluster?
Put development where it makes the most sense
Preserve open space or farmland without using tax payer funds

WHAT IS“NONCONTIGUOUS” CLUSTERING?
![Page 7: Nj future non contiguous clustering 11-7-12 sturm intro](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54bc560c4a7959381e8b4592/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Conventional Development
• “Large lot zoning”• Uniform lot sizes• Development covers
most or all of the site
![Page 8: Nj future non contiguous clustering 11-7-12 sturm intro](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54bc560c4a7959381e8b4592/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Contiguous Cluster Development
• Development is concentrated on a portion of the site
• Remaining land is preserved as open space or farmland without relying on public purchase

Noncontiguous Cluster Development
Two or more non-adjacent parcels are treated as a single site for the purpose of clustering.

Implementation in New Jersey
Ten towns with ordinances: • Delaware• Hillsborough*• Hopewell• Middle• Monroe*• Mt. Olive*• North Hanover• Ocean• Plainsboro*• Robbinsville** Five towns with noncontiguous cluster developments
