The R-2 District consists of certain medium-density residential uses, generally located between detached single-family residential and commercial areas, together with certain open areas, where similar development appears likely to occur. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district, to promote and encourage, with compatible intensities of land use, a suitable environment for family life composed of an adult population with some children, and to permit certain commercial uses of a character unlikely to develop a general concentration of traffic, crowds of customers and general outdoor advertising. To this end, retail activity is sharply limited and this district is protected against encroachment of general commercial or industrial uses. All residential types of structures for both permanent and transient occupancy, including institutions, are permitted, as well as structures for commercial uses conforming to the pattern of the district. This residential district is not completely residential as it includes public, semipublic, institutional, and other related uses. However, it is mostly residential in character, and, as such, shall not be spotted with commercial and industrial uses.
