(A) The R-8 Neighborhood Residential District is intended to emphasize a more standard, medium-density district like those found in Albemarle's early suburbs in closer proximity to the downtown core. The principal use of land is devoted to a wider mix of housing types while still promoting an overall residential character. The R-8 Neighborhood Residential District is commonly found outside of walking distances to downtown and commercial areas, but is still well connected and is a good district for infill development in such areas. This district allows for single-family detached and attached dwellings and two-family dwellings along with limited home occupations and private and public community uses.
(B) The following uses are permitted by right.
(1) All uses permitted in the R-10 Residential District, including special uses subject to City Council approval, except camps and retreats.
(2) Single-family attached dwellings.
(C) Unless otherwise provided herein, all uses and structures shall comply with the area, yard and height requirements of this chapter. When not expressly stated herein or otherwise determined by Board approval, all principal uses and structures in this section requiring special use approval shall use area, yard and height requirements of the least intense by-right use.
