It clarifies that Sycamore Square is not actually a cluster subdivision, but zoned R-3. It has similarly restricted lot sizes and open space requirements, but it is not a cluster subdivision, as such. Sorry for the error.

That 75% is currently in land-use taxation, meaning that those owners are receiving tremendous tax breaks to leave the land undeveloped. As far as the cost-per-square-foot is concerned, it is hard to tell what type of effect the planning is having on it. That is because it still remains cheaper to build in Fluvanna than it is to build in neighboring Albemarle. My opinion is that the main factor driving up the building costs is land cost. Land in the entire area has become very expensive. This area also suffers from a lack of competition in just about every sector, construction supply and skilled labor included. This also has an effect on cost-per-square foot. As of right now, the entire county is about 75% undeveloped.

Yikes! How much is that pushing up the cost-per-square foot? Those sure are some restrictive regulations!

75% undeveloped? Yikes!

How much is that pushing up the cost-per-square foot?
