RES3
Single Family Residential District
Res3 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. The Res3 district is intended for larger-scale subdivisions built to higher than minimum standards. Open space should be provided for throughout the development and should be accessible and available for recreational use by residents. Since a higher density is permitted, Res3 districts must be served by public water and Public Sewer or an Existing Private Sewage Treatment Plant with Sufficient Capacity. 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.
