Zoning
RES2
Single Family Residential District
Res2 districts are intended to provide for subdivisions and neighborhoods consisting of detached single family dwellings surrounded by yards that provide a desirable and healthy environment. Res2 districts are generally served by public water supply, and public sanitary sewer is generally not available. Because Res2 districts are generally served by individual septic tanks, maximum density is based on the health requirement that lots must be large enough to accommodate a septic tank drain field and replacement drain field area. 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.
