The "2F-9" district is intended to provide the opportunity to have development which is two-family (duplex) in character, but which encourages individual ownership of all dwelling units. This is permitted by dividing the typical duplex lot from front to back, thus encouraging the sale of each dwelling unit and the land upon which it sits, to the occupant.
