The purpose of the multiple-family residential (R-2) zone is to provide for higher intensity residential development that mixes duplex dwellings with single-family dwellings. This zone encourages the use of duplex residential dwellings that enhance the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood, and are complemented by a full range of public services and facilities. Some nonresidential uses are allowed that complement the primarily residential nature of these zones. The average residential density is 17 dwelling units per acre. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.051, 2001).

Table 11.15.020 describes uses which are permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited in the R-2 zone. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.052, 2001).
