Low Density Traditional Residential District

The LT-R Traditional Residential District is established to provide opportunities for lower density single-family residential averaging one to four units per acre. The LT-R District development patterns and architectural styles reflect the residential neighborhoods established before during the 1940 fts, 50 fts and early 60 fts. Streets were largely developed along a grid pattern with sidewalks and neighborhoods conveniently located to local shopping areas. Although these are older neighborhoods of the community, it is envisioned that this zoning district is also appropriate for new single-family development built in neo-traditional style in accordance with current new urbanism concepts; Manufactured housing units are not considered appropriate within the Low density, Traditional Residential District.; Two Family Dwellings Duplexes may be deemed appropriate in the LT-R District under certain circumstances; however, a Special Use Permit is required.; Attached single-family dwelling as defied in Article 8 may be considered appropriate as infill development if the design is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in terms of scale, height, roof pitch, provision of parking, and orientation toward the street. Such development, if approved by Special Use Permit, must meet the standards listed
