R-2
Medium Density Residential District
The western end of the Township next to Ellwood City has been developed for a long time in a mix of uses, but predominantly single-family homes on small lots, interspersed with community uses. Both public sewer and water lines are available. This area is the logical location for plans of smaller lots dependent on public utilities and for townhouse and walk-up apartment buildings. There is available undeveloped land to the south of Route 288 to allow expansion of these kinds of uses as well as for community facilities and services. Route 65 and 288 and retail shopping abut the area. The bulk of new residential growth in the Township should be encouraged to locate in this zone district.
