See everything this lot allows

One house is the floor, not the ceiling.

RM8 is one of Asheville's most flexible residential districts — this 0.15-acre lot can be far more than one house.

01
1 detached home ✓
Build a single cottage on the lot.
02
Home + detached ADU ✓
Live in one, rent the other — or house family. ADU size follows the primary home.
03
2 detached homes / duplex ✓
Double the rentable units on one lot.
04
3 detached homes / triplex ✓
Three units, one parcel, one sitework spend.
05
Up to 4 detached homes / quadplex ✓
The by-right ceiling for small-scale density.
06
Cottage development / townhouses ✓
A small community around shared green space, 2–15 units.
These are the zoning ceilings for this lot — allowed by right under the county zoning matrix. Up to 4 homes on a 0.15-acre lot means four dwellings on this one parcel, not four subdivided lots; what physically fits (parking, lot coverage, height, tree & stormwater rules) is confirmed in the $650 feasibility study.
!
2 attached ADUs — conditional, verify with the city. Size-limited variants are handled case-by-case in the feasibility study.
Add a detached ADU once your home is built — its size follows the primary home. Asheville caps a detached ADU at 70% of the main home's heated area, up to 800 sf.

Strategy B

Build your home, then add a detached ADU for rental income or family. In Asheville a detached ADU can run up to 70% of the main home's size (max 800 sf) — so the number comes after the house.
