R2
Residential Moderate Density District
The intent of the R2 District is to designate areas where the expected and desired use of land is a mixture of varied types of residential development at a somewhat higher development density. Typically, such areas will have public water service available but may encounter sewage disposal problems. Regulations and standards should relate to the efficient subdivision of land in anticipation of future public sewage disposal service and the creation of an efficient pattern of roadways in accordance with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
