Lafayette City Zoning Code
R2 MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL ZONE
§ 151.050 PURPOSE.
The R2 District is created in order to preserve some land that can develop to serve the city’s multi-family needs without creating incompatible situations. To protect this goal permitted uses are few and conditional uses should be weighed in view of their impact with future multi-family development. The land use plan also shows potential areas that could be rezoned to R2 if conditions are found favorable.
