How tall can I build?

Height in Huntersville is regulated less by a single district-wide number and more by two overlapping rules: your lot's assigned building type under Article 4 (which sets a height standard, in some cases measured as vertical distance from finished grade to the eaves), and a street-context compatibility test in most town districts (NR, NC, TC, HC, TND-U, TOD-R, TOD-E) requiring new buildings to respect the general spacing, mass, scale, and street frontage relationship of existing buildings along the same street, unless they instead vary their massing to reduce perceived scale (Art. 3.2.4(d)(1), 3.2.5(d)(1), 3.2.6(d)(1), 3.2.7(d)(1), and similar sections, as amended by TA22-07). That street-context test does not apply to development that includes two or more affordable housing units at or below 80% of area median income. This pack could not independently verify specific height-in-feet or stories figures by building type against a primary document this session; confirm your building type's Article 4 height standard on the Town's zoning map or with the Planning Department at 704-875-6541. This pack covers both incorporated Huntersville and its zoned ETJ.
