What is r2 zoning?

R2 zoning is a type of zoning classification used in many cities and towns in the United States. It typically applies to residential areas where multi-family or duplex housing is permitted. This type of zoning designation stipulates the maximum density that may be built within the area, as well as minimum lot sizes and setback requirements. Under R2 zoning, properties can be used for residential purposes, such as single-family homes or apartments; they may also permit commercial uses that are compatible with the residential character of the area. R2 zoning regulations can vary depending on the specific location or municipality.
