Fayetteville City Zoning Code

30-3.C. Special

Base Zoning Districts

30-3.C.1. General Purposes

The special base zoning districts established in this section are intended to address special areas where typical urban growth and development does not or should not occur, whether because the areas contain important natural resources or natural hazards (Conservation District), rural character and productive natural resources (Agricultural- Residential District), or a military installation (Military Base District).

Effective on: 11/18/2013

30-3.C.2. Conservation District (CD)

CD CONSERVATION DISTRICT	PURPOSE
CD CONSERVATION DISTRICT	The Conservation District (CD) is established and intends to preserve and protect identifiable natural resources from urban encroachment—i.e., to preserve water- courses and protect them from erosion and sedimentation; retain open spaces and greenways and protect their environmentally-sensitive character; preserve wildlife and plant life habitats and protect them from the intrusions of urbanization; provide air and noise buffers to ameliorate the effects of development; and preserve and maintain the aesthetic qualities and appearance of the community. The district also discourages development that creates risks for loss of life or property from normal natural processes and events in natural hazard areas (e.g., floodplains).
DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS

30-3.C.3. Agricultural-Residential (AR) District

AR AGRICULTURAL- RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT	PURPOSE
AR AGRICULTURAL- RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT	The Agricultural-Residential (AR) District is established and intends to accommodate rural uses, including agricultural uses, uses that complement or support agricultural uses, and very low-density residential uses. It encourages residential development that preserves farmland and other open space through flexibly-designed conservation subdivisions.
DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS [1]
DIMENSIONAL STANDARD	PRINCIPAL STRUCTURES	ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
Lot area, min. (sq. ft.)	20,000	n/a
Lot width, min. (ft.)	100	n/a
Gross residential density, max. (dwelling units/acre)	2	n/a
Lot coverage, max. (% of lot area)	25	[2]
Height, max. (ft.)	35	35; 15 where abutting a single-family zoning district or use and within a 10 foot setback
Front and corner side setback, min. (ft.)	30	Not allowed in front, side, or corner side setbacks
Side setback, min. (ft.)	15	Not allowed in front, side, or corner side setbacks
Rear setback, min. (ft.)	35	5
NOTES: [1] The gross residential density standard applies to conservation subdivisions, but lot area, lot width, and lot coverage standards do not apply. Setback standards apply only from the perimeter of the conservation subdivision. [2] Accessory structures/use areas associated with an agricultural use may exceed a principal dwelling unit's size. Accessory uses associated with other permitted uses shall not exceed the lesser of: 1,500 square feet in size or 25 percent of the allowable lot coverage.

30-3.C.4. Military/Airport (MA) District

MA MILITARY / AIRPORT DISTRICT	PURPOSE
	The Military / Airport (MA) District is established and intended to identify those lands within the City containing military installations under exclusive Federal authority or the City's regional airport. The district accommodates a wide range of uses and development directly related to the training, housing, and support of military troops and air transportation. If land within the MA district is declared surplus or otherwise conveyed to private ownership in the future, the land should then be reclassified to another zoning district in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance (see Section 30-2.C.1).
DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS
No dimensional standards apply in the MA district, though military facilities are encouraged to provide a building setback from any base perimeter abutting a single-family residential zoning district equal to at least the minimum setback applicable on the other side of the perimeter.
COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS IN THIS UDO
Uses within the MA district shall be exempt from the standards in this UDO.
REVIEW OF MAP AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS
The City shall forward all map amendment (rezoning) applications on lands within five miles of Fort Bragg to the appropriate Federal agency for review and comment as part of the application review process.
