Lot size and width in Huntersville, NC

Outside a Farmhouse Cluster or Conservation Subdivision, non-residential lots and lots in exempt subdivisions require a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft. and 90-foot width (no open space requirement); pre-existing smaller lots are treated as conforming. For standard residential subdivisions, density is regulated on a sliding scale keyed to preserved open space (confirmed this session directly from the Town's own ordinance text, fetched via the ALP viewer's print endpoint): 0% open space allows less than .30 units/gross acre; 25% open space allows .30 units/gross acre; 45%+ open space allows .90 units/gross acre (density rises .03 units/gross acre for each 1% of open space above 25%, capped at .90). Within that sliding scale, individual lot sizes must average at least 15,000 sq. ft. (never below 8,000 sq. ft.), lot widths must average at least 70 feet excluding cul-de-sac lots (never below 60 feet, with additional cul-de-sac frontage rules), the front yard setback is a minimum of 25 feet, the side yard setback is 8 feet, and the rear yard setback is a minimum of 25 feet. A Farmhouse Cluster development (available in R and TR) permits subdividing land for up to six house lots on a shared private drive where the project has a minimum 10 acres and at least 30 feet of frontage on a public road (by fee simple or exclusive easement), with no more than two farmhouse cluster developments permitted per tract and no minimum lot size or width required within the cluster. A Conservation Subdivision requires a minimum 40-acre project, maximum gross density of 1 dwelling unit per 20 acres, and is exempt from several standard requirements including Article 4's Detached House lot-placement rules.

Outside a Farmhouse Cluster or Conservation Subdivision, non-residential lots and lots in exempt subdivisions require a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft. and 90-foot width (no open space requirement); pre-existing smaller lots are treated as conforming. For standard residential subdivisions, TR uses its own sliding density scale, distinct from R's (confirmed this session directly from the Town's own ordinance text, fetched via the ALP viewer's print endpoint): 20% open space allows .5 units/gross acre; 40%+ open space allows 1.5 units/gross acre (density rises .05 units/gross acre for each 1% of open space above 20%, capped at 1.5). Within that scale, lot sizes must average at least 7,500 sq. ft. (never below 6,000 sq. ft.), lot widths must average at least 60 feet excluding cul-de-sac lots (never below 50 feet), the front yard setback is a minimum of 20 feet, the side yard setback is 6 feet, and the rear yard setback is a minimum of 25 feet. Duplexes in major subdivisions are capped at 20% of total units (versus 10% in R). Farmhouse Cluster minimums are the same as in R: a minimum 10-acre project with at least 30 feet of public road frontage, capped at two farmhouse cluster developments per tract, with no minimum lot size or width required within the cluster. Confirm the current zoning map and the cited section text before acting.

GR is a legacy conformity district: density, open space, street/lot arrangement, and yard dimensions are generally controlled by the most recently approved subdivision plan (sketch, preliminary, or plat) rather than this table, unless the lot in question falls below 50% of the table's standards, in which case Section 11.5.5 applies. In the absence of a governing approved subdivision plan, Art. 3.2.3(d)(3) sets: minimum lot size 20,000 sq. ft.; minimum lot width 90 feet; minimum front yard 40 feet; minimum rear yard 50 feet; minimum side yards 10 feet; minimum corner lot side yard 20 feet. This was independently confirmed this session directly from the Town's own ordinance text (fetched via the ALP viewer's print endpoint). Confirm which standard applies (approved subdivision plan vs. this table) and the current zoning map with the Planning Department before acting.

No single minimum lot size applies district-wide; lot standards follow the assigned building type (Article 4). One confirmed figure: a single-family detached house on a lot of one acre or more, created under Art. 8.1 paragraph 1, must observe at minimum a 90-foot lot width (and the 40-foot front setback noted under height/setbacks) in place of the general street-context compatibility test. Exact building-type minimum lot size and width figures for other lot types are review-gated; confirm the current zoning map, the assigned building type, and the cited section text before acting.

NC sets no single minimum lot size district-wide: Art. 3.2.5(c) permits apartment, townhome, duplex, triplex, quadplex, civic, detached house, mixed-use (up to 6,000 sq. ft. first floor area), shopfront (up to 6,000 sq. ft.), and workplace (up to 6,000 sq. ft.) building and lot types, each governed by its own Article 4 lot-type standard rather than a district-wide lot-size number. This was independently confirmed this session directly from the Town's own ordinance text (fetched via the ALP viewer's print endpoint, which returns full section content once the correct book/print request is made). Confirm the assigned building type and its Article 4 lot standard on the current zoning map or with the Planning Department before acting.
