R-2
Single-Family Residential District
The R2 Single-Family Residential District is mainly comprised of medium density single- family subdivision development, including diverse types of single-family dwellings, and smaller dwelling units, where surrounding land uses are compatible with high density development and such development would not have an adverse impact on the surrounding areas. Appropriate areas should have adequate public facilities including significant community or public water and/or sewer systems. Since lot requirements are reduced and density is increased, it is critical that all factors relating to drainage, topography, and other environmental factors be examined carefully to ensure suitability.
