Hiram City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 1121

R-2 Residential District

1121.01 PURPOSE.

   This District is established to provide for areas of residential development at densities not to exceed two dwelling units per acre that are an extension of the Village’s traditional character and pattern of development, rather than stand in contrast to it. New developments should provide open space and avoid the excessive sprawl of modern suburban development.
