Chapter 18.23.2 — R-O RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY

Colton Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Colton

18.23.2.010 - Intent and Purpose.

The R-O Residential Overlay provides, in addition to the base land use, the opportunity to develop residential uses in areas where convenient access to transit and neighborhood-serving uses is available. Together, the base land use designation and the overlay allow for a combination of commercial or office uses with higher-density residential development. The overlay is intended to promote high-quality market rate and affordable housing construction, as well as assisted living facilities, in areas where residents can easily walk to shops, services, schools, and transit stops. Residential development can either occur as part of a mixed-use development or as stand-alone, attractive multifamily housing. Design must include pedestrian-friendly spaces such as plazas, courtyards, and other amenities. The Residential Overlay may

apply to four base land use designations: General Commercial, Mixed-Use Neighborhood, Industrial Park, and Light Industrial.
