Medium Density Single-Family Residential District

The purpose of this District is to provide areas for the development of medium density single-family detached houses on smaller lots, including patio homes and zero lot line homes, in which site use efficiency is achieved by relaxing one side yard requirement. Through design and planning controls, higher densities can be accommodated without sacrificing usable open space, privacy or environmental quality. It is the intent of this Ordinance that this District be located in the suburban portions of the County where a protected environment suitable for medium density residential use can be provided, as well as in established medium density residential areas as a means to insure their continuance. No new singlefamily residential subdivisions shall be developed in the R-2 District without connection to a state approved sewage system. Land areas designated in the R-2 single-family residential District is intended to fall within medium density single-family residential on the Future Land Use Plan Map contained in the Land Use Element of the adopted Hinds County Comprehensive Plan. This District contemplates subdivision development with a gross density up to 5 units per acre for conventional lots and 6 du per acre for patio home and zero lot line housing types.
