SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 6 (SF-6) DISTRICT <br />The Single-Family Residential 6 (SF-6) District is esablished and intended to accommodate principally <br />single-family detached residential development at moderate densities, that is designed to respond to <br />environmental and site conditions. It also accommodates two- tofour=family dwellings and zero lot <br />line development subject to the requirements of this Ordinance. All uses in the district are subject to <br />the design standards in Article 30-5: Development Standards. District regulations discourage any use <br />that substantially interferes with the development ofsingle-family dwellings and that is detrimental to <br />the quiet residential nature of the district Also allowed are Complementary uses usually found in <br />residential zoning disvicts, such as parks, open space, minor utilities, accessory dwellings, schools, and <br />Lot area per unit, min. {sq ft) 6•~ y'~ <br />nla <br />Lot width, min.

The current provisions do trot Include any derssity <br />requirements, but one is added (9.6 DU/acre), and is subjett to the density rounding standards discussed in earlier footnoces. The current standards_ <br />allow detached dwellings, zero lot line, and condominium developments to use a sliding scale for minimum lot size where lot size may be reduced to <br />as small as 4,000 square feet per unit as the number of units increase. We have revised this approach by holding lot size comtant for detached <br />dwellings, allowing attached residential and two- [o four-family dwellings on 5,900 square foot lots. In terms of zero lot line development, each <br />development is required to have 40,000 square feet In development size, and the lot area requirements are removed in favor of density limitations. <br />Lot coveage limiations are increased from 35% to 40% to facilitate infdl (subject to new design standards). Flnally, the disvitt crow indudes a 10 <br />percent density bonus for new development «curring within designated "incentive areas'. <br />June 2009 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina <br />Page 3-I S Unified Development Ordinance- Module Two Public Review Drak (REVISED) <br />
