21.08.020 - Residential zoning districts. ¶

The purpose and zoning district map symbols of individual residential zoning districts are as follows:

(a)

Single-Family Residential Zoning District.

(1)

Purpose: The single-family residential zoning district is intended to stabilize and protect the residential characteristics of the district and to encourage a suitable environment for domestic home life. The singlefamily residential zoning district is intended to provide for detached single-family homes on larger parcels (ranging from six thousand to sixteen thousand square foot parcels). The designation of an area in the single-family zoning district includes establishing a minimum lot area for new subdivisions, expressed as a suffix to the "R-1" zoning map symbol (e.g., R-1-6). The single-family residential zoning district is consistent with the low-density residential land use designations of the General Plan.

(b)

Low-Medium Density Residential Zoning District.

(1)

Purpose: The low-medium density residential zoning district is intended for duplexes, apartment buildings, townhomes, detached small-lot single family homes, and uses in support of, and comparable to, such land uses. The low-medium density residential zoning district is consistent with the low-medium density residential land use designation of the General Plan.

(2)

Zoning District Map Symbol: LMDR

(c)

Medium Density Residential Zoning District.

(1)

Purpose: This medium density residential zoning district is intended for duplexes, apartment buildings, townhomes, and uses in support of, and comparable to, such land uses. This designation is typically applied to transition areas between lower-density neighborhoods and higher-density developments or commercial areas.

(2)

Zoning District Map Symbol: MDR

(d)

Medium-High Density Residential Zoning District.

(1)

Purpose: The medium-high density residential zoning district is intended for apartment buildings and condominiums, and uses in support of, and comparable to, such land uses. This designation is typically applied to areas away from major commercial intersections. The medium-high density residential zoning district is consistent with the medium-high density residential land use designation of the General Plan.

(2)

Zoning District Map Symbol: MHDR

(e)

High Density Residential Zoning District.

(1)

Purpose: The high density residential zoning district is intended for apartment buildings and condominiums and uses in support of, and comparable to, such land uses. This designation is typically applied to sites along Class I, or Class II arterial roadways that abut lower-density neighborhoods. The high density residential zoning district is consistent with the high density residential land use designation of the General Plan.

(f)

Mobile Home Park Zoning District.

(1)

Purpose: The mobile home park zoning district is intended for mobile homes, modular homes, and uses in support of, and comparable to, such land uses.

21.08.030 - Residential land uses. ¶

The permissibility of land uses in residential districts shall be as specified by Table 2-1 (Land Use Table - Residential Zoning Districts) subject to the operational and locational standards contained in Article 3.

Land uses listed as (AC) may be allowed subject to the approval of an Administrative Conditional Use Permit and land uses listed as (C) may be allowed subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, in compliance with Chapter 21.46 (Conditional use permits).

Areas of special limitations may also be identified on the zoning map as a number with the number indicating the minimum parcel area for subdivision in thousands of square feet (i.e., 80 = 80,000 sq. ft. minimum).

The Planning Commission may approve a F.A.R. of up to 0.50 with approval of a site and architectural review permit when it makes both of the following findings:

a.

The perceived scale and mass of the home is compatible with the adjacent homes and the homes in the surrounding area.

b.

The home minimizes the use of design features that make it appear significantly larger than the adjacent homes and the homes in the surrounding area.

(2)

A minimum of the setback indicated or one-half the building wall height adjacent to the side or rear property line, whichever is greater. The Planning Commission may allow a minimum side setback of five feet for structures proposed for a second story addition, when it makes both of the following findings:

a.

The side setback would not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort or general welfare of persons in the neighborhood, or the city as a whole; and

b.

The side setback would not unreasonably interfere with the ability of adjoining property owners to enjoy access to air, privacy, sunlight, and the quiet enjoyment of the owner's property.

(3)

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the maximum FAR for a housing development project consisting of three to seven units shall not be less than 1.0, and the maximum FAR of a housing development project consisting of eight to ten units shall not be less than 1.25, when the following conditions are met:

a.

The housing development project consists of at least three, but not more than ten, units.

b.

The housing development project is not located in any of the following:

i.

A property with a single-family zoning or land use designation;

ii.

A historic district property included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, as defined in Section 5020.1 of the Public Resource Code; and

iii.

Within a site that is designated or listed as a city or county landmark or historic property or district.

(4)

Exception. Notwithstanding Note #3, the development standards for structures not otherwise subject to the Multi Family Development and Design Standards established by Chapter 21.07, shall be the same as those development standards applicable to the R-1 zoning district, except that the minimum usable open space shall be three hundred square feet per dwelling unit, the LMDR zone shall have a maximum floor area ratio of fifty percent, and the MDR, MHDR, and HDR zones shall have a maximum floor area ratio of fifty-five percent. Further, the MHDR and HDR zones shall be permitted to build up to three-stories and forty-feet in height.
