What can I build on this property?
It depends on the zoning district and whether the parcel is inside Fuquay-Varina's corporate limits or its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), both of which are governed by the same Land Development Ordinance (LDO). Single-family detached homes are permitted in every conventional residential district in this pack (RA, RLD, RMD, RHD); duplex, triplex, and quadplex uses are permitted starting at RMD and RHD, but not in RA or RLD. Commercial and industrial districts (O&I, NC, CC, GC, RLI, HI) have their own use tables and purpose statements; specific use-by-use designations for those districts are review-gated in this pack pending a complete read of the Sec. 9-1254 Permitted Use Table's district columns, so confirm your specific use with the zoning district shown on the Town's live FVGIS webmap or with the Planning Department at 919-552-1429 before acting. This pack covers the Land Development Ordinance as amended through the version read during this review (dated 5-4-2026); the Town amends the LDO periodically through numbered Clean-Up Text Amendments.
