This zoning law features density averaging elements. Ithaca’s zoning code sets a minimum lot size of one acre and a maximum lot size of two acres for non-farm lots in its agricultural zone. In addition, the town planning board has the authority to require clustering of the non-farm lots as a condition of subdivision approval.
