SECTION 6 RESIDENTIAL R2 ZONE 6.1 GENERAL …

1 SECTION 6. RESIDENTIAL R2 ZONE. GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE R2 ZONE. The R2 Zone variation is slightly less restrictive than the R1 Zone. The R2 Zone variation provides for and regulates low density RESIDENTIAL development in the form of single detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, duplex dwellings and two unit converted dwellings. The RESIDENTIAL R2 Zone variations are symbolized by R2 followed by a dash and a number. There is no main RESIDENTIAL R2 Zone variation but rather 6 variations that are differentiated on the basis of site requirements.

2 The R2-1 to R2-5 Zone variations can be applied throughout the City. The R2-6 Zone variation has the lowest lot area standards and it is not intended to be applied to large areas; rather, it is intended to be applied to specific areas and reflect existing development on local streets. This approach allows for the supply of a range of lot sizes and dwelling styles. ( File #R910387 - Appeal #9008 June 4, 1993). PERMITTED USES.
