STAFFORD — Stafford County leaders on Tuesday slashed by 60% the number of acres on which housing developers could build “cluster” developments. 

The Board of Supervisors voted to restrict all new cluster developments to the county’s urban service area, meaning that 80% all new development in the county would occur on a tract of land largely located along Interstate 95, bounded roughly to the west by Kellogg Mill, Mountain View, and Joshua roads to the west, and Brooke Road to the east.
