RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
Residential Single-Family High Density District
It is the intent of the RS-8 Residential Single-Family High Density District to establish a high density per acre for single-family dwellings where public infrastructure is sufficient to support such development and to stabilize and protect the district's residential character in areas of existing high density single-family development while promoting a suitable environment for single-family living. Non-single-family development normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area is also permitted.
Directions: From downtown, take I-240 E to exit 8 onto Fairview Road. Turn right onto Fairview Road, Left onto School Road E, Left onto Onteora Blvd, and Right onto Raleigh Road. Home is on left hand side.
