Residential Varied Style District

The Residential Varied Style District is established to create beneficial contemporary single-family housing opportunities at higher densities, configurations and styles not traditionally found in Matthews, such as zerolot line homes, single-family attached including townhouses, patio homes, duplexes, pinwheel design, and similar styles. This district is primarily intended to be utilized in three situations: near the downtown as detailed in the Downtown Master Plan; at specific sites identified by the Land Use Plan as exhibiting unique criteria offering an opportunity for an alternative to traditional detached single-family development; and upon request when the proposed site can be demonstrated to accommodate the increased density, exhibits a thoughtful, imaginative use of the land, and demonstrates reasonable and appropriate land use relationships, both within the development itself and with surrounding areas adjacent to the development. All development of land within the Residential – Varied Style – district shall comply with a site plan approved at the time of R-VS designation. The map symbol and short name for the Residential Varied Style District shall be R-VS.
