1097 Sunset Rd, Cherryville, NC 28021

Residential District

This district is established to accommodate single-family dwellings on 9,000 minimum square foot lots and two-family dwellings on 12,000 minimum square foot lots and to allow under certain conditions, and after review and approval by the City Council, a variety of residential dwelling unit arrangements in Planned Residential Developments. R-9 districts are located in older, established areas of the City where mixtures of single and two-family dwellings can be accommodated. Like the R-12 District, public water and sewer service is present in all R-9 areas. Review by the Planning Board, and review and approval by the City Council for the residential uses and arrangements, other than those specifically permitted by right, is established to ensure that developments are well-planned and, where applicable, compatible with adjoining single-family residences and neighborhoods. A limited number of private and public community uses are allowed or may be allowed on a conditional use basis where certain criteria specified in this Ordinance are met. Accessory residences are also allowed on a conditional basis.
