3. "R-2" Two-Family/Multifamily District. Residential districts with slightly higher population.

6. "C-2" Public/Non-Profit. Property or land that is owned by any non-profit organization.

This area may require access to rail and street transportation. Buildings should be architecturally attractive and surrounded by landscaped yards.

8. "I-2" Heavy Industrial District. An industrial district intended to provide for a class of uses other than those specified in the "I-1" Light Industrial category. This is an area of intense use and should be separated from residential and commercial use wherever possible.
