Dwelling, multiple-family

Named in 1 of this ordinance’s zoning districts.

How this ordinance defines it

The operative definition is the local one. Codes routinely subdivide a category into tiers — “day care 2, family”, “group home 2” — and attach different permissions to each, so only Spotsylvania County Unincorporated’s own text settles what this covers.

Chapter 2Reads like a definition

be deemed a single-family dwelling and shall not be deemed a manufactured home. ** Dwelling, multiple-family ** means a residential building containing three (3) or more separate dwelling units located on a single lot or parcel of ground.
