§ 25.157 GENERALLY.

Red Bluff Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Red Bluff

In any district where strict adherence to the front, side, street side, rear yard requirements precludes development or expansion of an otherwise permitted use or structure, the Planning Commission may approve or conditionally approve reduced yard setbacks after considering a request and making all of the following findings:

(A) The lot for which the application for development is submitted is a “substandard” lot; such as a lot that does not meet the current standards for minimum lot size or dimension(s), is zoned R-3 or R-4 or adjoins a floodway;

(B) The project will not encroach across any lot line; (A voluntary lot merger may be concurrently processed and must be approved prior to action on the setback adjustment application.) The Technical Advisory Committee may approve a voluntary merger.

(C) The owners of property contiguous to the yard proposed for reduction have no objections and have provided a signed statement attesting such to the city;

  • (D) No reduction in neighborhood safety or aesthetics will result from the proposal;

  • (E) Where applicable, the project complies with the design review guidelines; and

(F) Except for the setback reduction for which the request is submitted, all development on the lot conforms to the use, density, lot coverage, landscaping and off-street parking requirements of this chapter.
