R2
Residence District
R-2 Residence Districts are designed to provide opportunities for higher intensity development in the Route 30 corridor in light of the carrying capacity of the infrastructure in the form of roads, sewer and water facilities. The R-2 Districts comprise areas which are developed as neighborhoods primarily in close proximity to public transportation and neighborhood shopping facilities, and where road, sewer, water and storm drainage facilities can support such higher densities.
