Conventional Residential Description:
Primary Uses: | Single-Family Detached | Accessory Dwelling Unit | Duplex | Cottage Home Court | Townhome | Triplex/Quadplex Supporting Uses: | Commercial Corner Store | Parks and Open Space | Multi-Family
Conventional Residential areas consist of a mix of housing types that resemble the character and form of traditional single family neighborhoods. This can include single-family homes as well as single-family attached and multifamily developments that appear like a single-family home, such as duplexes, cottage home courts, and townhomes. This land use category consists of Wake Forest’s long standing and newer neighborhoods and residential areas in the Glen Royall Mill Village National Historic District, the Wake Forest National Register District, and the Wake Forest Local Historic District. A mixture of lot sizes and dwelling sizes should be encouraged, with heights ranging from two to three stories. Conventional Residential areas should incorporate pocket and neighborhood-scale parks, public gathering spaces, community gardens, and trails that serve surrounding residents. Conventional Residential areas may incorporate commercial corner stores located at key entry points and intersections ( page 62 in the Additional Considerations chapter provides additional location and design recommendations).
