6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized
by conventional single family homes but may also include patio or garden homes
and cluster homes, provided that the density remains less than 6 units per acre.
The application is to rezone from R-2 to R-4. The purpose is for Duplexes.
Surrounding the application area are single-family uses to the west. North and
east of the site area undeveloped wooded tracts. To the south is a Pulaski County
Sheriff substation.
This site is not located in an Overlay District.
