Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent of the R-2 Single-family Residential District is to provide appropriate areas for low density single-family residential development. The district differs from the R-1 District principally in its lot size and yard requirements. It is designed to preserve the character of existing residential areas, to encourage new residential development in accordance with modern subdivision standards, to protect single-family areas from encroachment by potentially incompatible commercial land uses or higher density development, and to maintain a low density of development. The R-2 District is also intended to accommodate specific nonresidential uses which are necessary to provide for the recreational, educational, cultural and public service needs of a residential community.
