Urban Residential Dwelling District-Historical and Infill

The RU-I, Urban Residential Dwelling District-Historical and Infill district provides for higher density residential development in the historical residential areas of the City of Newnan. The principal uses of land in this district are single-family dwellings and related recreational, religious and educational facilities normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced, orderly, convenient, and attractive residential area. Allowed uses are required to utilize public water and sewer infrastructure. High density residential areas shall be protected from low intensity non-residential development and from the encroachment of incompatible uses; RU-I districts are designed to maintain neighborhood stability by permitting development on a lot by lot basis. Each request to develop in this district shall be given individual consideration in regard to setbacks and other dimensional requirements to ensure that infill and replacement dwellings are compatible with the dimensions of the adjacent dwellings, the block, and the neighborhood. The Planning and Zoning Department will review and approve site and elevation plans for such projects.
