or two (2) family dwellings designed for up to four (4) families, including accessory buildings
for those dwellings; or

nature;

SECTION V. The Common Council hereby accepts the report and recommendation of the
Community and Economic Development Committee that the area herein described be designated
as a Residentially Distressed Area and hereby adopts a Resolution designating this area as a
