R-2
Residential District
The R-2 Residential District is intended to be similar to the R-1 district in its residential nature. However, R-2 district also allows Class A manufactured homes and multi-family housing options as well. Allowed uses in this district are sensitive to the residential character of the area and non-residential uses are limited.
