The R-2 Residential District is intended to provide for
low density single family residential housing particu-
larly conducive to family life and associated leisure
activities. It is contemplated that this classification will

with the regulations for this district and undeveloped
areas in the City which are deemed suitable for such
development. It is further intended that the R-2 Dis-
trict classification should generally be applied only to
contiguous and discrete residential neighborhoods
which are unpenetrated by arterial streets. When su-
perimposed with the PUD District designation, a high-
er range and intensity of uses may be permitted in
the R-2 District than is otherwise permitted under this
Section. The PUD District provisions and regulations
may be superimposed upon the R-2 District in accord-
ance with Section 4-110 of this Article, entitled "PUD
District Regulations".
4-105.2 Principal Permitted Uses
In the R-2 Residential District no building, structure
or land shall be used and no building or structure shall

fer" or transitional zone between R-1 and R-2 Districts

tions should be read as intending to preserve such
older buildings.
