Single-Family District

The R-2 single-family district applies to a major portion of the city developed for single-family residences. It is the proper zoning classification for areas of undeveloped land within the city identified as appropriate for single-family residential use and may be applied to undeveloped areas annexed to the city in conjunction with the approval of a zoning plan by the board of directors. This section applies to such district. The purpose of this district is to protect single-family uses in established areas by promoting and encouraging a suitable environment for family life, by providing a reasonable standard for light, air and similar amenities, by minimizing traffic congestion, and by avoiding the overloading of utilities and public facilities designed to service only one-family residential uses. Within the R-2 district, all buildings, structures or uses having commercial characteristics shall be excluded, whether operated for profit or otherwise. Conditional uses, accessory uses and home occupations expressly provided for in these regulations, however, shall be allowed, provided they do not have objectionable characteristics, and provided further that they otherwise conform to the provisions of this chapter.
