Medium-Density Residential District
The R-2 Medium-Density Residential District is comprised of a mix of housing types and densities. The purpose of this district is to stabilize and preserve areas of the community to provide for a suitable environment for family life. Certain nonresidential uses are allowed by right, or by special exception, to provide for convenient access to the higher concentration of residents. This district generally coincides with public utility service areas. As a result, permitted densities and housing types require the use of these public utilities.
