Okay, it's not really a game... I have just been writing way too many bylaws (10 hours a day for six days now) and I'm my mind is going to mush.
So here's the dilemma... St. Albert currently has a definition for cluster housing as follows:
"cluster housing" means a development of multiple dwellings other than apartment buildings and may include duplex and semi-detached dwellings located on a site or several such developments located on adjoining lots, which are designed to be architecturally integrated.
In reality, this isn't really clustered housing as we all know it (where you have smaller lots, higher common open space ratio in order to preserve natural areas, etc). And I don't like it being called "clustered housing"... but what the heck is it? I'm trying to clean up the bylaw a little, and I would like to include REAL cluster housing in the bylaw, but I have to think of what to call the definition above. This use (whatever we call it) is pretty prevalent in at least three zoning districts, so I don't want to toss the thing out entirely.
Any ideas? Or should I just bag it and chalk it up to semantics.
