[Amended 7-24-1995 by Ord. No. 554]
The R-2 Residence District is designed primarily
to make provisions for single-family residential development at low
and moderate suburban-type densities; to relate residential density
to environmental and health concerns by limiting development to low-density
when water and sewer service are to be on-lot, but allowing moderate
suburban-type densities when public sewer service is used; to encourage
the preservation of open space and natural resources through cluster
development; to maintain the identity and character of existing suburban-type
residential neighborhoods; and to allow for campus-like, low-intensity
uses which serve as a transition from existing higher intensity development
fronting along those portions of Route 352 and Route 452, which are
on or north of Route 1, to the lower-intensity development beyond
the properties fronting on Route 352 and Route 452, north of Route
1.
