What can I build on this property?
It depends on both your zoning district and, within that district, your lot's assigned building type. Huntersville's Zoning Ordinance is a form-based code: Article 3 sets which districts allow which uses (Rural R and Transitional Residential TR for conservation-style rural development; General Residential GR as a legacy conformity district; Neighborhood Residential NR, Neighborhood Center NC, Town Center TC, and the TND/TOD mixed-use districts for walkable neighborhood and transit-oriented development; Highway Commercial HC, Passenger Vehicle Sales VS, Special Purpose SP, and Corporate Business CB for more auto-dependent or large-scale uses; Campus Institutional CI for large institutional complexes), while Article 4 building types (Detached House, Attached House, Apartment Building, Civic Building, Urban Workplace, Shopfront Building, and others) set the physical form and, largely, the numeric standards. A Manufactured Home Overlay (MH-O) can sit on top of NR, GR, TR, or R. Many uses are marked 'permitted with conditions,' meaning they must also satisfy a specific Article 9 standard. Start by confirming your zoning district and any Conditional Zoning (CD) case or overlay suffix on the Town's official zoning map (huntersville.maps.arcgis.com, app id 069eb471b9994e4f84875c7424746579) or with the Planning Department at 704-875-6541. This pack covers both incorporated Huntersville and its zoned extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), which the Town confirmed zones the same as town parcels.
