17.335.010 Purpose.
The Urban Cluster Residential zone is intended to apply to areas that are characterized by large contiguous ownership parcels capable of development as a single, unified project. Clustering of appropriate residential densities in areas most suitable for such development, while simultaneously providing a high level of protection for wetlands, streams, critical aquifer recharge areas and wildlife habitat areas, is encouraged. Flexibility related to site planning and affordable housing through innovative design is also encouraged, as the exact locations of uses should be based on the location of critical areas, transportation corridors, community needs and market conditions.
At the same time, the UCR zone should foster a development pattern that results in the design and construction of an interconnected system of pedestrian and bicycle trails and facilities linking residential neighborhoods with open spaces, recreational areas, transportation corridors and retail and employment opportunities, both within and outside the zone.

C. Master Planning Requirements. Prior to any new development within an area zoned Urban Cluster Residential (UCR) which is also designated for master planning in an approved sub-area plan, a master plan shall be prepared for the entirety of the zone which is contiguous with the area proposed for new development; provided, that the director may either increase or decrease the area within the sub-area that will be included in the master plan in order to maximize the efficiency of the process and assure coordination with areas that may be affected by the proposed new development. If the subject zone exists elsewhere within the sub-area, and is not contiguous to the area proposed for new development, it is not required that those non-contiguous same-zoned lands be included in the subject master plan.
D. For multi-family development, see Chapter 17.351, Multi-Family Development – Design Criteria.
