20.62.070 - Coastal Residential Districts. ¶

A.

Purpose of Section. This Section provides regulations for development and new land uses, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), in the coastal residential zoning districts established consistent with Marin County Local Coastal Program policies by Section 20.62.020 (Coastal Zoning Districts Established).

B.

Purposes of zoning districts. The purposes of the individual zoning districts are as follows:

1.

C-RA (Coastal, Residential, Agricultural) District. The C-RA zoning district provides areas for residential use within the context of small-scale agricultural and agriculturally related uses, subject to specific development standards. The C-RA zoning district is consistent with the Single-Family Residential 3, 4, 5, and 6 land use categories of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

2.

C-R1 (Coastal, Residential, Single-Family) District. The C-R1 zoning district provides areas for detached single-family homes, similar and related compatible uses. The C-R1 zoning district is consistent with the Single-Family Residential 3, 4, 5, and 6 land use categories of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

3.

C-RSP (Coastal, Residential, Single-Family Planned) District. The C-RSP zoning district provides areas for detached single-family homes, similar and related compatible uses, which are designed in compliance with Marin County Local Coastal Program policies. This Section establishes no specific setback requirements, so that development may be designed for maximum compatibility with sensitive site characteristics. The C-

RSP zoning district is consistent with all Single-Family Residential land use categories of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

4.

C-RSPS (Coastal, Residential, Single-Family Planned) District (Seadrift Subdivision). The C-RSPS zoning district is applied to areas within the Seadrift Subdivision intended for detached single-family homes, and similar and related compatible uses, which are designed in compliance with Marin County Local Coastal Program policies. This Section establishes no specific setback requirements, so that development may be designed for maximum compatibility with sensitive site characteristics unique to the Seadrift sandspit and lagoon, Bolinas lagoon, and the beaches adjacent to the Subdivision. The C-RSPS zoning district is consistent with all Single-Family Residential land use categories of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

5.

C-R2 (Coastal, Residential, Two-Family) District. The C-R2 zoning district provides areas for attached twofamily housing units, detached single-family homes consistent with Land Use Plan Policy C-CD-23 (MultiFamily Residential Development in Multi-Family Zones), and similar and related compatible uses. The C-R2 zoning district is consistent with the Multi-Family Residential 2 land use category of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

6.

C-RMP (Coastal, Residential, Multiple Planned) District. The C-RMP zoning district provides areas for varied types of residential development, and similar and related compatible uses, designed in compliance with Marin County Local Coastal Program policies. This Section establishes no specific setback requirements, so that development may be designed for maximum compatibility with sensitive site characteristics. The C-RMP zoning district is consistent with the Planned Residential and other MultiFamily Residential land use categories of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

C.

Allowable land uses and permit requirements in residential districts. Table 5-2 (Allowed Uses and Permit Requirements for Coastal Residential Districts) lists the land uses allowed in the residential zoning districts within the Coastal Zone, in compliance with Section 20.62.040 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).

D.

Development standards for residential districts. Proposed development and new land uses, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), shall be consistent with the land use definitions in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), and shall comply with the provisions of Chapters 20.32 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) as applicable and all other applicable provisions of this Title.

20.62.090 - Coastal Special Purpose and Combining Districts.

A.

Purpose of Section. This Section provides regulations for development, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), in the coastal special purpose and combining zoning districts established by Section 20.62.030 (Coastal Zoning Districts Established).

B.

Purpose and applicability of zoning districts.

1.

General Applicability.

a.

Special purpose districts. Special purpose zoning districts are intended to identify sites suitable for types of land uses that are different from but that can be accommodated along with certain land uses allowed within the other coastal agricultural, residential, and commercial zoning districts established by Section 20.62.030 (Coastal Zoning Districts Established).

b.

Combining districts. Combining districts are applied to property together with one of the other agricultural, residential, or commercial zoning districts, to highlight areas where important site, neighborhood, or area characteristics require particular attention in project planning.

(1)

The combining districts established by this Chapter provide standards that apply to development, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), in addition to those of zoning districts.

(2)

The applicability of a combining district to property is shown by its map symbol established by Section 20.62.030 (Coastal Zoning Districts Established) being shown as a suffix to the symbol for the primary zoning district. A site designated within a combining district shall be subject to all applicable provisions of this Chapter, in addition to the requirements of the primary zoning district. If provisions of this Chapter conflict with any requirements of a primary zoning district, this Chapter shall control.

2.

C-PF (Coastal, Public Facilities) Zoning/Combining District.

a.

The Coastal Public Facilities "C-PF" zoning/combining district is applied to land in the Coastal Zone suitable for public facilities and public institutional uses, including where a governmental, educational, or other institutional facility is the primary use of the site, in compliance with the Marin County Local Coastal Program. The C-PF district is consistent with the Public Facility and Quasi-Public Facility land use categories of the Marin County Land Use Plan.

b.

The C-PF district may be applied to property as a primary zoning district if it is sufficiently different from surrounding land uses as to warrant a separate C-PF zoning district, and as a combining district where a publicly-owned site accommodates land uses that are similar in scale, character, and activities, to surrounding land uses.

3.

B (Coastal, Minimum Lot Size) Combining District. See Section 20.64.040 (Coastal Minimum Lot Size (-B) Combining District) for the purpose and applicability of this district.

C.

Development standards for special purpose/combining districts. Proposed development, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 20.32 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) as applicable and all other applicable provisions of this Title.
