Residential Agricultural District

The Residential Agricultural (RA) Zoning District is intended to permit proposed and existing large zoning lot single-family detached dwellings in established neighborhoods and to provide for lower density, rural residential zoning lot (stick-built or modular unit) development and agricultural farming operations, forestry management, farmsteads, public or private parks and greenways. This district may accommodate residential use on a zoning lot with a minimum size of 20,000 square feet, at a density not to exceed 2.18 single-family detached dwelling units per gross acre with one public utility, or with a community water system approved by the Wake County Health Department. If a septic tank and well for each zoning lot is proposed the minimum lot size shall be 30,000 square feet, approved by the Wake County Health Department or as amended in the future. Optional development in this district may also include open space developments, permitted in accordance with Article F Use Regulations, section 91255, l(4) and household living, Article F, section 9-1255, m., both of which require public utilities and the thoroughfare improvements in accordance with the Community Transportation Plan. The Town may extend public utilities the transportation system and/or other infrastructure networks into or through this district. As the Town's infrastructure network is expanded or extended, a relative change may be reflected in development density, typically reflected through a change in zoning district classification.
