R-5
Single and Two-Family Residential Zone
The purpose of the R-5 Zone is to preserve the integrity of existing single- and two-family residential areas by preventing the intrusion of nonresidential uses into residential neighborhoods and by maintaining existing development intensity and population density consistent with single- and two-family residential neighborhood patterns. A compatible relationship between new or expanded houses and traditional neighborhood houses that reflect the best of the neighborhood character, particularly in terms of scale, siting, design features and orientation on the site is encouraged.
