Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed original § 71-82,
R-2 Single-Family Attached Residence District, as amended.
The R-2 Zone is designed for relatively high density single-family detached residences in addition to those uses also permitted in § 160-128.
Any use other than those uses listed in § 160-147 above is prohibited. Specifically prohibited are the following:
A.
Adult bookstores.
The following requirements shall be complied with in the R-2
Zone:
A.
Single-family detached residences.
(1)
Minimum lot area (individual water and sewer utilities). Where a development is designed to depend upon individual well and individual subsurface disposal systems, the minimum lot area required shall be 65,000 square feet. Where an applicant wishes to employ residential cluster or open space development, a qualifying map, as defined in § 160-5, shall be submitted. The Board may accept the qualifying map or reject it, at its sole discretion. The number of lots indicated upon an approved qualifying map shall be the number of lots permitted in a residential cluster or open space development. The lots may be reduced to one acre in size with no increase in gross density.
(2)
Lot width. The minimum lot width measured at the front setback
line shall be at least 150 feet. In a major subdivision employing
open space zoning or residential cluster, as defined in this chapter,
the width of any lot measured at the front setback line shall be not
less than 100 feet.
(3)
Lot frontage. The minimum lot frontage as measured along the
front street right-of-way shall be 90 feet. Within a major subdivision
employing open space zoning or residential cluster, as defined in
this chapter, the frontage as measured along the front street right-of-way
may be reduced to 60 feet.
(4)
Building coverage. Building coverage, as defined in § 160-5 of this chapter, shall not exceed 10%.
(5)
Front yard. There shall be a front yard of not less than 50
feet. Within a major subdivision employing open space zoning or residential
cluster, as defined in this chapter, the front yard of any lot may
be reduced to 30 feet.
(6)
Side yard. There shall be two side yards which shall total not
less than 60 feet. No side yard shall be less than 25 feet. Within
a major subdivision employing open space zoning or residential clusters,
as defined in this chapter, side yards may together total 40 feet.
No side yard shall be less than 15 feet.
(7)
Rear yard. There shall be a rear yard of not less than 50 feet.
(8)
Building height. No building shall exceed a height of 35 feet,
or 2 1/2 stories, whichever is the lesser.
(10)
There shall be a buffer of not less than 150 feet between any
power line right-of-way and any residential structure.
No development shall be designed such that the buffer between
the first residential unit nearest a state or county highway is closer
than 200 feet. Said buffer shall be a raised earthen mound not less
than 10 feet wide at the top and 10 feet in height, side slopes shall
not exceed two to one, suitably planted with shrubs and a mix of deciduous
and evergreen trees. The function of this buffer is to insulate the
development from traffic on any major highway and reduce the visual
impact of development from the highway.
