R-2
Single Family Residential District
The R-2 Single Family Residential zoning is intended to preserve and stabilize single-family dwellings and neighborhoods that were developed at a slightly higher density than the R-1 district. This allows the provision of housing for persons with different social needs and incomes. These regulations are also intended to promote the development of new single-family dwellings and to protect such neighborhoods from uses and developments which are incompatible or disruptive to the nature of this district
