R2
General Residential District
The General Residential District, R-2, is composed of certain quiet, low-density residential areas plus certain open areas where similar residential development is likely to occur. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district, to promote and encourage the clustering of residential developments to maximize shared and purposeful open space, to protect the natural environment and to promote a sense of community, to limit activities of a commercial nature and to implement the policies and designations of the Comprehensive Plan applicable to low-density residential areas. To these ends, development is limited to low-density residential and permitted uses are limited to dwellings designed to be occupied by one family or more than one family under certain conditions plus certain additional community-oriented uses that serve the residents of the district.
