Sec. 501. Purpose and Objectives. — Kings County Zoning Code

A. The purpose of the Residential (R) Districts is to provide residential living within the unincorporated areas of the county with a broad range of dwelling densities (i.e., low-density estate, single family detached and attached, multi-family, and housing for special needs) consistent with the General Plan and appropriate standards of public health, safety and welfare, and aesthetic. Furthermore, the intent of this Development Code in relation to residential districts is to:
1. Ensure adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling.
2. Minimize traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of public services and utilities.
3. Protect residential neighborhood from excessive noise, illumination, unsightliness, odor, smoke, and other objectionable influences.
4. Facilitate the provision of public improvements commensurate with anticipated increase in population, dwelling unit densities, and service requirements.
5. Provide lands to accommodate housing units which meet diverse economic and social needs of the resident; locating development to achieve the following.
  - a. Retain the scale and character of existing residential neighborhoods; and
  - b. Facilitate the upgrade of declining and mixed-density residential neighborhoods; and
  - c. Allow expansion into vacant and low-intensity use of lands within infrastructure and environmental constraints.
B. Residential land use designations are primarily used in the “Urban Fringe” and “Community Districts”, while “Rural Interface” has small pockets of limited residential uses. Included within this land use type are seven residential designations, Very Low Density, Low Density, Low Medium Density, Medium Density, Medium High Density, High Density, and Very High Density. The largest extent of County residential land use designations are applied in the “Community Districts” of Armona, Home Garden, Kettleman City and Stratford where community water and sewer services are provided. Residential designations within “Rural Interface” areas are mostly located within the Grangeville, Halls Corner, and Hardwick areas.

Sec. 502. RR Rural Residential District. The RR Single-Family Residential District is intended to provide residential living areas which combine certain advantages of both urban and rural locations by limiting development to very low density concentrations of Single-family dwellings and permitting limited numbers of animals to be kept for pleasure or hobbies, free from activities of a commercial nature.

DEVELOPMENT CODE

A. The Rural Residential district is intended primarily for application to areas within or at the fringe of urban areas and to rural service centers a s well as for application to subdivisions of land in agricultural and scenic areas to:
1. Permit the opportunity of developing estate-type lots which, because of their size, cannot be economically accommodated within urban areas; and

To encourage the provision of estate-type lots as a subdivision of land which will assure the provisions of at least those minimum physical improvements necessary to protect the health, safety and general welfare of people living on estate-type lots or parcels.

Sec. 503. R-1 Single-Family Districts: The R-1 Residential districts are intended to provide living areas within the county where development is limited to concentrations of single-family dwellings where regulations are designed to accomplish the following:

A. The R-1-20, R-1-12, R-1-8 and R-1-6 Districts are intended to promote and encourage a suitable environment for family life; to provide space for community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which require a residential environment; to minimize traffic congestion; avoid the overloading of utilities and public facilities designed to service only Single-family residential uses in accordance with density standards of the General Plan; and to facilitate the production of affordable housing.
B. The R-1-3 District in the community of Kettleman City offers smaller 3,000 square foot lot residential home sites that add additional housing opportunities in order to foster a wider variety of housing types with varying affordability ranges. The use of higher density housing serves to provide affordable units, a walkable community, reduce overcrowding, preserve agricultural land and provide a mix of rent/own housing options.

Sec. 504. RM Multi-Family Districts: The RM Multi-Family Residential Districts are intended primarily to provide the development of multi-family residential structures at densities consistent with the location and character of the area as follows:

A. The RM-3 District is intended for application in areas adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of an R-1-20, Single-Family Residential District.
B. The RM-2 District is intended for application in areas adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of an R-1-12, Single-Family Residential District.
C. The RM-1.5 District is intended for application in areas adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of R-1-8 or R-1-6, SingleFamily Residential Districts.
D. The new RM-2.4, RM-1.6 , and RM 1.2 overlay zones in the community of Kettleman City are intended for application in areas adjacent to mixed use, downtown mixed use, rural commercial, and public facility districts. See Article 10, Section 1008 of this Development Code for additional information.

Sec 505. Land Use Regulations: The following table prescribes the land use regulations for “Residential” districts. The regulations for each district are established by letter designation shown in the key of Table 5-1:
