u.....use.
(~. ~

ment Overlay District shall determine the maximum number of

mum number of dwelling units shall be determined by adding
together the allowable density for each land use district area. Den- (
sity transfer throughout the PRD project area is permitted for the
promotion of clustering units in those areas suited to development,
and thus preserving the open space and natural features of the site.
(See Hillside Management Overlay District for restrictions to on-
site density transfer.)
2. Minimum Lot Size
The minimum lot size for a detached single-family unit in a Small
Lot Subdivision shall be 5,ooo.square feet. PRD's may create lot
