CHAPTER 17

40 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, R-2-75, R-2-50

17.40.010: PURPOSE:

The purpose of the R-2-75 and R-2-50 zones is to provide appropriate locations where medium to high density residential neighborhoods on lots of not less than five thousand (5,000) square feet may be established, maintained and protected. The regulations also permit the establishment of, with proper controls, the public and semipublic uses, such as churches, schools, libraries, parks and playgrounds, etc., which serve the requirements of families. The regulations are intended to prohibit those uses that would be harmful to medium to high density residential neighborhoods. (Ord. 203 §12, 1987)
