(a) Purpose and Scope. It is the purpose of the R-2 District to conserve values in single- family areas characterized by homes on medium-sized lots typical of new subdivisions and to reserve open areas with a potential for such type of development by restricting new developments to those of similar character. Although the R-2 District is most directly applicable to relatively new subdivisions, it is also applicable in older areas either of similar character or of different character but utilizing medium-sized lots. This District is more permissive as to auxiliary nonresidential uses than R-1.
