Four Oaks amends zoning code to add two-unit townhomes and expand multi-family language
Summary
The town adopted amendments to Article 1 Section 307.2 to add "two-unit townhomes" to two-family dwelling requirements and to insert "3 or more" for multi-family/townhouse site requirements; the changes passed unanimously Dec. 16.
The Four Oaks Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Dec. 16 to amend the town's zoning ordinance (Article 1 Section 307.2) to clarify dimensional requirements and add "two-unit townhomes" to the category of two-family dwellings and to add language specifying "3 or more" units for multi-family or townhouse site requirements.
Planning & Zoning Administrator Mike Cook told the board the proposed changes would align the town's dimensional standards with the addition of two-unit townhomes and clarify how multi-unit developments are counted on a site. After Cook's recommendation, Commissioner Tony Capps moved to adopt the amendment as presented; Commissioner Mike Hines seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The amendments broaden the enumerated housing types and clarify site-count language, potentially easing development of two-unit townhomes and multi-unit projects consistent with the town's dimensional rules. The minutes do not record additional conditions, impact studies, or specific projects tied to the amendment.
