The purpose of the R-2 Two-Family Residential District, as supported by the vision, goals and objectives of the Village of Liverpool Comprehensive Plan 2025,[1] is to promote and preserve the integrity and character of the R-2 District as a single- and two-family residential neighborhood. The character of the R-2 District is exemplified by its historic homes located under shady groves of mature street trees that offer a parklike neighborhood setting. New infill or rehabilitation of existing homes should be compatible in scale and appearance with and complement existing homes in the same neighborhood. Residential and nonresidential uses should exemplify the peace and quiet of our traditional, walkable, friendly neighborhoods and be interconnected by a well-maintained system of sidewalks that enhance the traditional Village character of this area.
