What the Wake Forest zoning ordinance says about lot size and width, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
Maximum density 24 dwelling units per acre. No single minimum lot area line in this chart; refer to the building-type and subdivision standards for lot dimensions. Confirm the current zoning map and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum site area 20 acres, the largest minimum site area of any district. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum lot area 20,000 square feet, minimum lot width 60 feet. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
This chart sets minimum lot width 50 feet but does not set a minimum lot area for RD the way it does for other districts (the Lot Area (min) cell for RD reads "n/a"). Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum lot area 10,000 square feet, at a maximum density of 3 dwelling units per acre. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum lot area 7,500 square feet, at a maximum density of 5 dwelling units per acre. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum lot area 5,000 square feet, at a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Maximum density 10 dwelling units per acre. This chart does not set a minimum lot area the way the rural/suburban district chart does; lot dimensions in UR are governed by the subdivision and building-type standards in the UDO rather than a single minimum-lot-size line. Confirm the current zoning map and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum site area 10 acres. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum lot area 40,000 square feet. The chart's separate District/Development Area (min) row, which sets minimum site acreage for NB, LI, and HI, reads "n/a" for ICD; ICD does not carry a minimum acreage on that row. Confirm the current zoning map, any Conditional Zoning or Conditional District case, and the cited section text before acting.
Minimum district/development area 10 acres. The chart's separate Lot Area (min) cell for individual NB lots was read inconsistently across repeated fetches this session and is left review-gated rather than guessed; confirm the individual lot area minimum with the Planning Department at 919-435-9510 before acting.
Minimum district/development area 10 acres. The chart's separate Lot Area (min) cell for individual HB lots was read inconsistently across repeated fetches this session and is left review-gated rather than guessed; confirm the individual lot area minimum with the Planning Department at 919-435-9510 before acting.
