The "R-5" Single and Two Family Residential District as herein established is intended to afford a transition of use in existing housing areas by permitting new construction or conversion of existing structures between low-density, residential and commercial, office, higher density residential, thoroughfares, or other uses which would affect residential character. This district also recognizes the existence of older residential areas where larger houses have been or can be converted from single family to two family residences in order to extend the economic life of these structures and allow the owners to justify the expenditures for repair and modernization. This district further allows the construction of new two family residences.
