Medium-Density Residential Zone
The R-2 zone is intended to provide housing opportunities that have locations and development forms that provide a sense of both individual identity and neighborhood cohesion for the households occupying them, but in a more compact arrangement than in the R-1 zone, and near commercial and public services. The R-2 zone generally will occur as a transition zone between zones of higher and lower residential density and/or adjacent to office (O) zones or neighborhood commercial (C-N) zones.
