R-2
Single-Family Residential District
The R-2 Single-Family Residential District is intended to create a low density environment of single-family homes in areas clearly distinguishable as residential neighborhoods, located upon sites comparable in dimensions to the typical lot size for single-family housing within the community. Limited non-residential uses that are compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods may be permitted.
