2. Principal Permitted Uses. Only the following uses of structures or land shall be permitted in the R-5 District.
A. Any use permitted in the R-2 District.

5. Mobile Home Park Storm Shelters.
A. General Requirements. Every mobile home park of ten or more mobile home spaces which is constructed after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section shall be provided with above or below-grade storm shelters which shall:
