Title
(SUBDIVISION BILL) AN ACT CONCERNING CLUSTER SUBDIVISIONS for the purpose of amending the requirements for cluster subdivisions to allow the development of a church under certain circumstances.
 
Background
This legislation is a Subdivision Bill to amend Section 24-137 of the Subdivision Regulations.  Section 24-137(b) provides that only one-family detached dwellings are permitted in a cluster subdivision in the R-R Zone, and in the R-80 and R-55 Zones in cluster subdivisions for which the preliminary plan of subdivision was approved on or after September 1, 1986.  
This bill amends this section to allow the development of a church within an approved cluster subdivision in the R-R Zone under certain circumstances.
