§ 40-190. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The R-20 zoning district establishes a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet (0.459 acre) and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. A minimum house size (heated floor area per dwelling unit) of 1,800 square feet is established for new construction (not applicable to reconstruction if a natural disaster or fire occurs). This zoning district is intended primarily to implement the Historic Oxford and town neighborhood character areas established on the future development map of the city comprehensive plan as described in the community agenda. Public water service is available. Sanitary sewer is also available and required for new lots platted in this zoning district.

    (b)

    The primary intent of this zoning district is to protect the existing, low to medium density residential character of neighborhoods from intrusion by incompatible land uses.
