(A) Purpose. The R-2 Residential Districts are designed to accommodate a population density not to exceed four one-family dwelling units or two two-family dwelling units per acre. This density would be approximately the same as that which presently exists in the built-up sections of the community. The stated density and accompanying regulations would provide single-family dwelling units for families desiring to live in smaller houses on small lots. This district is also established to provide for a more orderly extension of public utilities encouraging medium density development in areas adjacent to areas proposed for intensive development.
(B) Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted in the R-2 Residential District:
(1) One-family dwelling units.
(2) Two-family dwelling units.
