Residential 2 (Medium Density Residential):
The R-2 Medium Density Residential District is established to provide a limited selection of residential opportunities at a medium density, including both single-family detached and two-family housing, and to preserve open space and natural features. Parcels in the R-2 District may be served by either individual septic systems or public sewer. It is intended that new development in this district will be at a density capable of being served by urban services such as public water and sewer based on requirements established by the Peoria City and County Health Department. This district is intended to be consistent with the concepts of the urban designation established during the County's land use planning process, adopted in the Peoria County Comprehensive Land Use Plan and shown on the County's Land Use Form map.
