§ 18.12.010. Establishment.

There is hereby established a zone which shall hereinafter be known as the "R-E single-family residential estate zone," and which shall function and serve as set out in this chapter. (Prior code § 9205.03)

§ 18.12.020. Intent and purpose.

The intent and purpose of the R-E zone is to principally designate, classify and distinguish certain residential areas within the city that may best facilitate the development and use of single-family homes on large acreage parcels of land in conjunction with only the private use and maintenance of limited agricultural and animal husbandry activities. (Prior code § 9205.03 (A))

§ 18.12.030. Applicability—Criteria.

  • A. The R-E zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the implementation of the residential land use, housing and environmental elements of the general plan. It is a zone classification designed to be applied on selective areas of the community where a rural character and atmosphere can be maintained and preserved in an urban setting.

  • B. Application of the R-E zone must be clearly defined within the scope and purpose of qualifying land for a rural function, and must be protected from the encroachment of land uses and development that do not exhibit or possess those characteristics of a rural nature.

  • C. Uses of land which do not qualify and which are not specifically permitted in the R-E zone are hereby expressly prohibited.
