Article 30-3:Zoning Districts <br /> Section D:Residential Base Zoning Districts <br /> Subsection 5:Single-Family Residential 10(SF-10)District <br /> S. SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 10(SF-10) DISTRICT <br /> The Single-Family Residential 10(SF-10)District is established to accommodate principally single-family <br /> detached residential development at low densities,and to accommodate flexibly-designed residential <br /> development that provides variable housing types and arrangements that respond to environmental <br /> and site conditions. Uses within the district are subject to the design standards in Article 30-5: <br /> Development Standards. The district accommodates two-to four-family dwellings designed to appear <br /> • as single-family detached homes and zero lot line development subject to the requirements of this <br /> • I Ordinance. District regulations discourage any use that substantially interferes with the development <br /> of single-family dwellings and that is detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the district Also <br /> allowed are complementary uses usually found in residential zoning districts,such as parks,open space, <br /> minor utilities,accessory dwellings of up to B00 square feet in size",elementary schools,and places of <br /> worship. <br /> Lot area per unit,min.(sq ft) 10,000 9,000 7,500 10,000 n/a <br /> Lot width,min.(ft) 75 n/a <br /> Gross residential density,max 5;5.3 for zero lot line development n/a n/a <br /> (dwellingunits/acre)[I]49 <br /> Lot coverage,max(%of lot area) 30 [2] <br /> 2S; 15 where abutting a <br /> Height,max(ft) 35 single-family zoning <br /> district or use <br /> Front and corner side setback,min.(ft)[3] 30;55 from street centerline Not allowed in front, <br /> side,or corner side <br /> Side setback min.(ft)[3] 10 setbacks <br /> Rear setback min.(ft)[3] 35 5 <br /> Spacing between buildings,min.(ft) n/a 20 5 <br /> Zero lot line development must be on a site or tract of 40,000 square feet or more,shall <br /> comply with the maximum gross residential density standards,and shall require a special <br /> Zero lot line development use permit(See Section 30-2.3.4>)when proposed on a lot or site smaller than three acres <br /> in a developed portion of the city. Setbacks for lots abutting the perimeter of the <br /> development shall meet the district minimums;otherwise no setbacks,lot area,lot <br /> coverage,or building spacing requirements shall apply. <br /> Open Space Set-Aside(%of parcel size) I Residential uses: :Nonresidential and mbced-uses:[to be determined in Module 3] <br /> 47 Accessory dwelling units help the city meet its goals of housing option diversity, and help accommodate modem Irving arrangements such as <br /> parents or grandparents living with a family.Accessory dwelling un�do not count towards density requirements,but such structures are limited to a <br /> maximum size of 800 square feet <br /> 46 These standards carry forward the current R 10 standards with a few exceptions. The current standards do not include a gross density figure,and <br /> one is proposed here. In addition,the current standards have a scaled approach to lot area where subsequent dwelling units may have reduced lot <br /> size. For the sake of simplicity,this scaled approach is proposed for removal.New use types and lot saes have also been added. <br /> 49 The new UDO will allow density rounding as is done in Cumberland County. In cases where a sites acreage allows a gross density that exceeds a <br /> whole number by 0.6 or more,the new UDO will allow an additional dwelling unit to be located on a site. <br /> June 2009 City of Fayetteville,North Carolina <br /> Page 3-13 Unified Development Ordinance—Module Two Public Review Draft(REVISED) <br />
