R-3
Residential District
The R-3 Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for a variety of residential development depending upon the availability of public water and sewer services. Some areas within the R-3 Residential District will have no public water and sewer services available and will thus be suitable primarily for single-family residential units on individual lots and mobile homes on individual lots. Other areas within the district will have public water and/or sewer service available and will thus be suitable for higher density uses such as multifamily residential units, planned unit developments, and mobile home parks. The R-3 district also provides for various recreational, community service and educational uses that will complement the residential development.
Directions: From I-240 East, take exit 7 for US70 E/Tunnel Road. Follow past VA hospital and under Parkway bridge, then turn Left on Lower Grassy Branch Rd. Turn right onto Hickory Tree Rd and the home will be on the right.
