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.
