[R.O. 2012 §405.135]
The purpose of this district is to provide a medium density
transition between more restrictive residential uses and business/industrial
and/or multiple-family activities while maintaining a quality residential
environment. Principal uses include single-family dwellings at gross
densities of not more than five and eight-tenths (5.8) units per acre
along with educational, recreational and religious facilities necessary
to support the residential community. "R-2" Districts may include
substantial frontage on collector roads, but should generally be separated
from the arterial system. Care should be exercised in providing for
access to public parks and open space to assure adequate light and
air for residential facilities.
[R.O. 2012 §405.140]
The permitted uses in the "R-2" Single-Family Dwelling District

Subject
to compliance with the procedures of this Section, accessory buildings,
structures and uses are permitted in conjunction with a permitted
land use or development or (unless restricted by applicable condition)
a conditional land use or development when such accessory building,
structure or use is customarily found in conjunction with the primary
use, is a reasonably necessary incident to the primary use, is clearly
subordinate to the primary use, and serves only to further the successful
utilization of the primary use. Accessory buildings, except inground
swimming pools, which are not a part of the main building may only
be built in a required rear yard, but such accessory building shall
not be nearer than six (6) feet of the rear or side lot lines. No
accessory building shall be built upon any easement. Accessory uses
include the following:
1.
Temporary buildings and uses for construction purposes for a period
not to exceed one (1) year.
2.
Garage, private, attached or detached building designed or used for
storage of one (1) or more privately owned motor-driven vehicles owned

and including carports or other similar structures, not to exceed
fifty percent (50%) of the square footage of the principal building
in size.
3.
Private swimming pools shall be fenced so as to insure the safety
of the citizens of Union. For the purposes of this Chapter, proper
fencing shall be, at a minimum, four (4) feet in height and constructed
so that any such pool is not readily accessible to passersby or small
children. Any such swimming pool shall conform to the side and rear
yard setback requirements of the applicable district in the same manner
as the principal use. All such swimming pools shall be constructed
so as to avoid drainage onto adjoining property and shall meet all
regulations and Building Codes in effect.
