This section shall apply to any tract of land containing #designated open space# that is #developed# as a unit in single ownership
and where the area of the #designated open space# claimed as #lot area# for zoning computation does not exceed the area of that
portion of the tract of land not located within #designated open space#. Such a tract of land may contain a single #zoning lot# or
two or more #zoning lots# which are contiguous or would be contiguous except for their separation by a #street#.

In all #Residence Districts#, except R1-1 Districts, for all permitted #residential uses# on such tract of land, the total #floor area#
or #dwelling units# generated by that portion of the #designated open space# claimed as #lot area# by the applicable district
regulations may be distributed without regard for #zoning# #lot lines#, for all #zoning lots# wholly within such tract of land.
The total #open space# required or #lot coverage# permitted for such tract of land may be located anywhere within the tract of
land without regard for #zoning lot# #lines#.

No transfer of #floor area# or #dwelling units# shall be permitted from a #zoning lot# not containing any #designated open
space#.

The site plan and #bulk# distribution for the entire tract of land shall be recorded in the land records and indexed against all
#zoning lots# in such tract of land.

Furthermore, the minimum #lot area# and #lot width# regulations, #yards# and spacing between #buildings# regulations shall
not apply along portions of #streets# or #lot lines# wholly within such tract of land, provided that:

(a)    the maximum #lot coverage# on any #zoning lot# shall not exceed 50 percent of the #lot area#;

(b)    the minimum distance between #buildings# on the same or adjacent #zoning lots# across a common #side lot line# is not
        less than 10 feet; and

(c)    the minimum distance between #buildings# on adjacent #zoning lots# across a common #rear lot line# shall not be less
        than 40 feet.
