No building shall be used for other than a one-family dwelling house with attached or detached garage. The dwelling house shall have a first floor area not less than 1,200 square feet if it is of the single story or split level type. If the dwelling exceeds one story in height, it shall have a first floor area not less than 825 square feet and a gross floor area not less than 1,650 square feet. In no case shall a boarding house or rooming house be considered a one-family dwelling.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection a of this section or the provisions of any other section of these regulations, all lots in the R-2 Residential District shall conform to the following requirements:
[Added 3-23-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-04[1]]
1. 
For any lot in this district of a minimum of 4,000 square feet but less than 5,000 square feet, the maximum permitted habitable floor area of the dwelling house shall be 1,800 square feet, plus an additional 42 square feet of habitable floor area for every 100 square feet by which the lot exceeds the minimum.
2. 
For any lot in this district of a minimum of 5,000 square feet, the maximum permitted habitable floor area of the dwelling house shall not exceed 2,250 square feet, plus an additional 42 square feet of habitable floor area for every 100 square feet by which the lot exceeds the minimum.
3. 
Portions of lot sizes of less than 100 square feet each above the minimum may not be considered in the above calculations. By way of example and not limitation, the formula for a lot containing 4,335 square feet is: 1,800-square-foot maximum habitable floor area, plus (3 x 42) additional square feet, for a total of 1,926 maximum square feet of habitable floor area. The remaining 35 square feet are discarded and shall not be considered in calculating the maximum habitable floor area of the dwelling house.
