17.20.010 Intent and Purpose¶

The intent of this Chapter is to create, preserve, and enhance residential areas for a wide range of housing types and lifestyles. These regulations are directed toward encouraging quality development and integrated, attractive, residential neighborhoods. Toward this end, eleven (11) residential districts are established, which includes the Mixed Use (MU) discussed in Chapter 17.50 and Airport Park (AP) discussed in Chapter 17.22.

For each district, the City has established a density limit, measured in gross acres. No entitlement for the maximum allowable density is granted in this Zoning Code. The actual density achieved on a development site will be based upon factors to include, but not be limited to, topography, access, availability of utilities and other infrastructure, proximity to sensitive environmental resources, availability of public services, viewshed considerations, etc.

The following residential land use districts are established in Adelanto:

The Desert Living (DL) zone district provides for the preservation of large lot residential uses. The minimum lot size is 2.5 acres. DL- 2.5 permits a parcel minimum of 2.5 acres, DL-5 permits a parcel minimum of 5 acres and DL-9 permits a parcel minimum of 9 acres. In addition to the primary residential use, accessory uses include equestrian facilities, agricultural uses, and the raising of small animals. Both public and private stables, kennels, and related uses are allowed with a Conditional Use Permit if approved by the Planning Commission. Minimum lot sizes in this zoning district may be increased depending on terrain, availability of services, or other factors; if modified, the minimum lot size shall be shown on the Zoning Map.

The Single Family Residential (R1-.5) zone district is a single-family zone which permits residential development on very large lots, with a minimum lot size of one half (1/20) acre [maximum density two (2) units per gross acre]. Minimum lot sizes in this zoning district may be increased depending on terrain, availability of services, or other factors; if modified, the minimum lot size shall be shown on the Zoning Map.

The Single Family Residential (R1) zone district is a single-family zone which permits detached residences at a density of up to four (4) units per gross acre. Minimum lot size is 7,200 square feet. Development at this density requires full urban levels of service and public improvements.

The Single Family Residential (R-S5) zone district is a single-family zone which permits detached residences at a density of up to five (5) units per gross acre. Minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet. Development at this density requires full urban levels of service and public improvements.

(e) Medium Density Residential (R3-8)

The Medium Density Residential (R3-8) zone district permits a variety of residential development types, including single-family attached townhouses, two-story townhouses, condominiums, and low-density garden apartments. Densities may range up to eight (8) units per gross acre.

(f) Medium Density Residential (R-M12)

The Medium Density Residential (R-M12) zone district permits a variety of residential development types, including single-family attached townhouses, two-story townhouses, condominiums, and low-density garden apartments. Densities may range up to twelve (12) units per gross acre.
