§ 18.15.010. Establishment.

There is established a zone which shall hereinafter be known as the "R-I residential infill zone," which shall function and serve as set out in this chapter. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

§ 18.15.020. Intent and purpose.

The intent and purpose of the R-I zone is to principally designate and classify certain residential areas within the city that may best facilitate smaller sized medium density residential developments that are well planned and allow for sufficient design flexibility in order to utilize unique physical land characteristics while preserving the nature of single-family neighborhoods. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

§ 18.15.030. Applicability—Criteria.

The R-I zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the implementation of the residential land use, housing and implementation elements of the general plan. It is a zone classification designed to be applied on selective areas of the community where land is of

appropriate size, shape and configuration, and possesses the characteristics to warrant such a designation. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

§ 18.15.040. Permitted uses.

Regulations governing the development of property for uses in the R-I zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.40 of this title.

Regulations governing the development of property for uses in the R-I zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.42 of this title. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

§ 18.15.060. Off-street parking.

Regulations governing off-street parking requirements for uses and development of property in the R-I zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.44 of this title. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

Regulations governing permitted signs and advertising for uses and development of property in this zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.46 of this title. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

§ 18.15.080. Minimum regulations—Additional conditions.

The regulations set forth in this title, and those set forth in Title 17 of this code governing residential development, are deemed to be minimum and not all inclusive. The planning commission and/or city council may establish conditions as may be deemed necessary to maintain, preserve, protect, perpetuate and promote not only the public health, safety and welfare, but the integrity of residential neighborhoods as well.

(Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)

§ 18.15.090. Scope of development—Comprehensive planning.

The scope and complexity of development shall be of such a nature that it provides achievement in conformity with the intent and purpose of the R-I zone. The overall plan of development shall be comprehensive, embracing interrelationships of land, structures and other environmental characteristics. The development must also be well related to existing and planned land uses and circulation patterns of adjoining and neighboring properties. (Ord. 922 § 4, 1999)
