(A) Purpose. The R-2 district is intended to allow for higher density residential development that is compatible with the R-1 (single-family) zone. Numerical restrictions have been kept to a minimum so as to allow as much flexibility as possible in housing design and still ensure adequate protection to adjacent R-1 zoned districts. This is a transitional zone and should be used to separate and protect the R-1 districts from more intense land uses and zones, and from heavily traveled transportation routes.
(B) Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted in the R-2 zoning district:
(1) Accessory buildings (See § 150.258 for property development standards) and uses, including private swimming pools and home occupations;
(2) Dwelling, single-family; and
(3) Duplex, triplex, condominium and town homes.
(C) Conditional uses. The following uses may be permitted subject to a conditional use permit (see § 150.015):
(1) Boarding or lodging house;
(2) Convent;
(3) Golf course (except miniature course or practice driving tee operated for commercial purpose), including clubhouse and service facilities which are intended to primarily serve golf course uses and are no closer than 300 feet to any exterior boundary of the golf course, except that the facilities shall have direct access from a collector or arterial street or a highway from which they shall be a distance of at least 50 feet;
(4) Group home;
(5) Model home complex and/or sales office;
(6) Public institutional buildings;
(7) Public or private school;
(8) Public utility buildings, structures or appurtenances thereto for public service uses;
(9) Temporary buildings used for the sale of homes and/or lots; and
Because no list of uses can be exhaustive, decisions on unspecified uses shall be rendered by the Planning and Zoning Commission with appeal to the Town Council.
