Zoning Ordinance

3.04.03. R-2 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

A. District Description:

This residential district is intended to promote and encourage the establishment and maintenance of a suitable environment for urban residence in areas which by location and character are appropriate for occupancy by moderate density, single- family and selected multiple-family dwellings. One of the important purposes of this district is to create adequate standards of residential development in order to prevent overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. The intensity of land use should not be so great as to cause congestion of buildings or traffic or overload existing sanitary facilities. Densities should be limited to provide adequate light, air, and usable open space for the residents and adequate space for all related facilities.

In the R-2 Medium Density Residential District, the following uses and their accessory uses are permitted:

1. Single-family detached dwellings, but not including mobile homes.

2. Churches or similar places of worship, but not including temporary missions, revival tents, or church camps.

3. Utility facilities necessary for the provision of public services.
