§ 11-7.1

Purpose and Intent.

The Res6 district is intended to provide for single family attached dwellings that allow options to increase housing variety and opportunities. In addition, Res6 districts may allow institutional type residences and other conditional institutional uses, but not to such an extent as to sacrifice the overall residential image and character. Open space should be provided for throughout the development and should be accessible and available for use by residents. Public water and sanitary sewer are required for developments within Res6 districts. Res6 districts shall connect to Public Sewer or an Existing Private Sewage Treatment Plant with Sufficient Capacity. The overall density of Res6 developments is four (4) units per acre and therefore allows for fee simple townhouses and condominiums. This district shall be considered appropriate in areas designated as such in the Forsyth County Comprehensive Plan and where compatible with surrounding land uses, density and performance standards.

§ 11-7.2
