Restrictive Residential District

It is the intent and purpose of this section to secure the harmonious residential development of the county through provisions designed to assure compatibility of residential land uses both within residential districts and between residential districts and neighboring nonresidential districts. These provisions are designed further to promote adequate open spaces for traffic, light, air, and recreation; to lessen congestion on the roads; to prevent both excessive concentrations and excessive scattering of population and settlement; to protect the value of land and buildings; and to promote such distribution of population and residential land development as will tend to facilitate and conserve adequate provisions for transportation, drainage, water supply, sanitation, educational opportunity, recreation, soil fertility, and the protection of both urban and rural development. It is further the intent of this section to comply with the provisions of Tennessee Code Annotated 6-58-107 and ensure consistency with the adopted Fayette County Growth Plan as adopted in August 2003 or subsequently amended. As such, the residential districts described in this section are intended to be utilized only within Urban Growth Boundaries or Planned Growth Areas. To accomplish this intent and purpose, there shall be five 5 residential development districts in Fayette County, Tennessee.
