SR2-OD
Special R-2 Overlay District
The purpose of the district is to allow for the continued construction, addition to, and renovation of homes located in the older, built out neighborhoods between Coleman Boulevard and the Historic District, by creating a special overlay zoning classification with flexible yard requirements. This will lead to an enhanced streetscape and a pedestrian- friendly environment.
