Sandy River Residential District

The SR-R, Sandy River Residential District is created to provide for single family detached residences at rural densities in the Sandy River area of Danville. This district has been created in order to protect the existing rustic way of life in the Sandy River community. The maximum density of one unit per five acres establishes the SR-R District as the City's lowest density district for detached residences. This rural density is allocated for the Sandy River area in order to insure that future development in the area is consistent and compatible with the pattern of development which is found there today. The SR-R District may be applied to both undeveloped tracts and existing stable neighborhoods. The intent of the district shall be to preserve existing natural features and vegetation, promote excellence in site planning and landscape design, facilitate the efficient layout and orientation of public utilities and community infrastructure, and encourage housing with compatible scale and character of architecture. No more than one single family dwelling shall be permitted per subdivision lot. Lots served by private domestic wells or septic systems shall be allowed only by special use permit.
