The Single-Family Residence 2 (RS-2) district is established and intended to accommodate primarily single-family dwellings including family community residences at moderate densities on lots greater than 7,000 square feet in area. The district also accommodates accessory dwelling units and transitional community residences as well as limited nonresidential uses usually found in urban single-family neighborhoods (e.g., parks, places of worship, golf courses), generally as Special Exceptions. |  | |
