R-2
Suburban Residential District
The R-2 District is composed of certain lands and structures in the county having a low density, predominantly single-family character and additional open area, where it is desirable and likely that such similar development will occur. This District emphasizes suburban-urban development rather than rural activities; however, it is recognized that agriculture and the raising of poultry and livestock may still be an activity in this district, and provision is, therefore, made for limited forms of such activity with appropriate safeguard for nearby residences. R-2 is appropriate in the Conservation Character Area, Rural Character Area and Community Residential Character Area of the Future Development Map of the Paulding County, Georgia, 2017 Comprehensive Plan as may be amended.
