Humboldt County Municipal Code § 314-17 “B” Combining Zone Designations

The Special Building Site Combining or B Zones and subzones thereunder are intended to be combined with any principal zone in which sound and orderly planning indicate that lot area and yard requirements should be modified. The following regulations shall apply in any zone which is combined with a Special Building Site Combining or B Zone in lieu of the lot area and yard requirements normally applicable in such principal zone. (Former Section INL#315-2; Ord. 519, Sec. 505, 5/11/65; Ord; 1661, Sec. 2, 10/30/84; Amended by Ord. 1848, Sec. 15, 9/13/88) 314-17.1 SPECIAL BUILDING SITE COMBINING ZONE DESIGNATION BUILDING SITE AREA B-1 Six thousand (6,000) square feet B-2 Ten thousand (10,000) square feet B-3 Twenty thousand (20,000) square feet B-4 One (1) acre B-5 As specified on the zoning maps designating any such zone, except that in no case shall these requirements be less than those required under the B-4 requirements.

314-17.1 SPECIAL BUILDING SITE COMBINING ZONE B-6 Building site area as shown on subdivision maps of record. Front, side and rear yards to be not less than B-4 requirements unless otherwise indicated on the subdivision map of record. B-7 Minimum lot size specified by B-7(x) on the zoning maps, where “x” indicates the minimum lot size, and where the subdivision of any parcel results in a density consistent with the General Plan. As part of the subdivision action, a rezone to the appropriate B-7 parcel size designation shall be required, and, as necessary, other enforceable restrictions where necessary to maintain consistency with the General Plan shall also be required. See the following examples of the application of this section. Minimum Yard Setback* Zones With a Minimum Lot Size of Less Than 2.5 Acres Zones With a Minimum Lot Size of 2.5 Acres or Greater Front Twenty (20) feet; Twenty (20) feet Rear Ten (10) feet Twenty (20) feet Interior Side Five (5) feet Thirty (30) feet Exterior Side Same as front or one-half (1/2) the front if all parts of the main building are more than twenty-five (25) feet from the rear lot line, and the exterior side yard does not abut a collector or higher order street. (In questionable cases, the Public Works Director shall classify the subject street.) Same as front or one-half (1/2) the front if all parts of the main building are more than twenty-five (25) feet from the rear lot line, and the exterior side yard does not abut a collector or higher order street. (In questionable cases, the Public Works Director shall classify the subject street). Double Frontage Lots Front and rear twenty (20) feet, except the rear yard setback may be reduced to ten (10) feet where such yard abuts an alley. Front and rear twenty (20) feet, except the rear yard setback may be reduced to ten (10) feet where such yard abuts an alley. Flag Lots For Flag Lots, the Director, in consultation with the Public Works Department, shall establish the minimum yard that is required for a vehicular turnaround on the lot. For Flag Lots, the Director, in consultation with the Public Works Department, shall establish the minimum yard that is required for a vehicular turnaround on the lot.

• Note: Setbacks may be modified by other provisions of this Code or State law. For example, see Section 314-22.1: “Alquist-Priolo Fault Hazard” and the “Fire Safe” Regulations at Title III, Division 11. (Former Section INL#315-2(2)(a-f))

density of one dwelling unit per 60 acres. If the zoning is AEB7 (10), subdivision could take place creating two 10 acre parcels and one 160 acre parcel. Such an action would require a rezone on the remainder parcel (in this case 160 acres) to prevent further subdivision in conflict with the density in the General Plan. The remaining 160 acre parcel would be rezoned to B7 (160). (Former Section INL#315-2) 180 Acres

parcel could still be split two ways. Depending on the particular circumstances, a rezone, recorded map note, or other enforceable restriction might be appropriate. (Former Section INL#315-2) 180 Acres

divided by 20 equals six parcels available. With a AEB7(2 1/2) zoning, two 1/2 acre parcels, one 5, one 20, and two 45 acre parcels could be created. Rezoning to the appropriate B7 parcel size designation would be necessary: B7(2 1/2), B7(5), B7(20), and B7(45), respectively. (Former Section INL#315-2)
