R2B
Residential District
The R2B district was created with the intention of applying this district to certain portions of unincorporated DuPage County as they are annexed to the Village. The standards in this district are a combination of DuPage County's R4 single- family residence district and Glen Ellyn's R2 Residential District. By combining the standards of these two districts the Village hopes to better protect the character of existing single-family neighborhoods as they are annexed to Glen Ellyn and to reduce the number of nonconformities that may be created upon annexation.
