400 Cowan Rd, Dickson, TN 37055

Medium-Density Residential District

This district is designed to provide suitable areas for medium density residential development where sufficient urban services and facilities are provided or where the extension of such services can be physically and economically facilitated prior to development. This class of district is intended also to permit community facility and public utility installations which are necessary to serve and do serve specifically the residents of these districts, or which installations are benefited by and compatible with a residential environment. It is the express purpose of this ordinance to exclude from this class district all buildings and other structures and uses having commercial characteristics and not planned as an integral part of a total residential development, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that conditional uses and home occupations specifically provided for in these regulations for this class of district shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this ordinance. Additionally, in an effort to implement the City's long-range planning vision for pedestrian -scale amenities to complement the Downtown Dickson area where pedestrian-scale amenities are present already or available for future extension, the R-2 zone provides exclusive standards for new development within the Downtown-focused area.
