R-2
Medium Density Residential District
The R-2 Medium Density Residential District has been established to accommodate residential uses at a density which provides a transition between R-1 Neighborhoods and the higher density residential and commercial areas in the Borough. Future residential uses in the developed portions of the R-2 District should be compatible with the existing neighborhoods. As recommended in the Spring City Borough Comprehensive Plan, future growth in the undeveloped area of the R-2 District should be designed as an extension of the existing neighborhood street pattern.
