[Added 2-11-2020 by Ord. No. 20-02]
(1)
Front
setbacks shall be established using the average front setback calculated
using the rules in § 72 82.4B(2). The average front setback shall

(2)
The
side yard setbacks on lots that are less than 15,000 square feet may
be reduced using the rules in § 72 82.4B(2); but each side yard
shall be no less than six feet, or no less than four feet for lots
50 feet or less in width. Side yard setbacks for lots within the Old
and Historic Fredericksburg Overlay District shall be determined through
the certificate of appropriateness process.
A.
Purpose. The R-4 Residential District is established to provide for single-family detached dwellings in both developed and undeveloped areas of the City at densities of up to four units per acre. The district also allows selected uses which are compatible with the medium density residential character of the district and to implement the stated purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.

by existing residential dwellings and lots created by the administrative
subdivision process on or after January 28, 2020.
[Amended 1-26-2016 by Ord. No. 16-01; 2-11-2020 by Ord. No. 20-02]

be set lower than 27 feet.
A.
Purpose. The R-8 Residential District is established to provide for
a planned mixture of single-family detached and attached dwelling
types at a density not to exceed eight dwelling units per acre. Development
in this district is sensitive to land physiography, public infrastructure
and facilities, transportation access requirements, and vulnerable
environmental features. The district also allows selected uses which
are compatible with the medium-density residential character of the
district and to implement the stated purposes and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan.
