The R-2 District is intended for low density residential development in those areas where such development fits the land use plan and policies, where municipal utilities are available and in areas which are partially or wholly developed residentially. It is further intended that establishment of this district will accommodate residential development on scattered existing vacant lots, as well as redevelopment in some instances, within previously developed residential areas, using standards previously established.
