Residential Medium-Density District

The purpose of the Residential Medium-Density (R-2) District Is to provide for a range of basic housing types at varying densities, including arrangements of multifamily dwellings and mobile home parks where such uses do not adversely impact neighboring properties. The R-2 District applies to areas which may be within the service area of a public wastewater treatment facility and a public water supply system. As such, development at higher densities shall be contingent upon the use of such public facilities. All dwellings proposed without the provision of public wastewater treatment and water supply facilities should consider the site design concept of locating the dwelling unit to one side of a wider lot. so that future infill development potentials can be protected for such a time that public services become available. This district shall be developed with pedestrian orientation, both internally and externally with adjacent land developments, and at a human scale. In addition. social, recreatiad and civic uses shall be provided in order to promote a sense of community and to serve nearby residents.
