MR-2
DRUD
Medium Density Residential-2 District
The purpose and intent of the board of commissioners in establishing the MR-2 (Medium Density Residential-2) District is as follows: To encourage primarily residential, planned developments that allow accessory retail, office, institutional, and civic uses; To provide for residential neighborhoods with a mix of single-family and multi-family housing types that maintain harmony of scale, intensity, and design with surrounding development; To provide for connectivity of streets and communities and reduce the dependence on automobile uses by increasing the ease of movement and opportunities for alternative modes of travel; To implement the future development map of the county's most current comprehensive plan; To provide districts that allow appropriate development transitions within the edges and transitional areas of the Town Center and Regional Center character areas.
