In cases where a site's acreage allows a gross density that exceeds a whole number by 0.6 or <br /> more,the new UDO will allow an additional dwelling unit to be located on a site. The new AR district will also allow conservation subdivisions. <br /> which allow lot dimensional requirements to be reduced in favor of greater open space provision/protection. <br /> June 2009 City of Fayetteville,North Carolina <br /> Page 3-5 Unified Development Ordinance—Module Two Public Review Draft(REVISED) <br />
