Chapter 19.217 — RESIDENTIAL LIVESTOCK OVERLAY ZONE (RL)
Riverside Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Riverside
19.217.010 - Purpose. ¶
The Residential Livestock Overlay Zone (RL) is established to permit greater flexibility in certain requirements pertaining to the keeping of farm animals such as horses, ponies, mules, cows, goats and sheep, pigs and swine under Future Farmers of America-supervised and 4-H-supervised projects, in those areas of the City where the keeping of such animals is already prevalent. It is also the intent of the RL Zone to provide opportunities for those whose lifestyle includes the keeping of such animals to locate in such neighborhoods in order to separate such activities from areas occupied by those who do not share such a lifestyle.
(Ord. 7331 §21, 2016; Ord. 6966 §1, 2007)
19.217.020 - Application. ¶
The Residential Livestock Overlay Zone may be combined with any single-family residential zone for both existing and new residences.
(Ord. 7331 §21, 2016; Ord. 6966 §1, 2007)
19.217.030 - Development and use standards. ¶
Permitted uses in the Residential Livestock Overlay Zone shall be any use permitted in the single-family residential zone with which said zone is combined; provided, however, that the following regulations shall prevail notwithstanding any contrary requirements in the underlying single-family residential zone:
A.
Not more than a total of two horses, ponies, mules, cows, goats and sheep, and swine and pigs subject to the provisions of subsection B of this section, or a total of two of any combination thereof shall be kept on any lot; provided that said lot has a minimum area of 20,000 square feet; and further provided that one additional such animal may be kept for each additional 10,000 square feet over the minimum area requirement;
B.
Swine or pigs shall be permitted in the Residential Livestock Overlay Zone only upon the condition that said animals are kept and maintained as a duly authorized Future Farmers of America or 4-H project;
C.
Offspring of permitted animals shall not be counted in determining the permitted number of animals if such offspring do not exceed the following age limitations:
1.
Cattle, 24 months;
2.
Horses, 18 months;
3.

E.
The premises where such animals are kept shall be maintained in a clean, neat and sanitary condition at all times in order to insure the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. Unless all animal manure on the premises is removed from the premises daily, said manure accumulated each day shall be placed in boxes or receptacles of a design and construction acceptable to the Riverside County Health Officer, and the boxes or containers maintained to prevent access to the contents thereof by flies and to prevent offensive odors. All watering troughs shall be maintained so as to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. Said premises shall be maintained in accordance with all applicable ordinances, laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to the care of animal habitation, manure removal, fly-producing conditions, and mosquitoes.

Chapter 19.219 - RESIDENTIAL PROTECTION OVERLAY ZONE (RP)
19.219.010 - Purpose. ¶
The Residential Protection Overlay Zone (RP) is established to preserve the character of single-family residential neighborhoods where the physical conversion of single-family dwellings to higher occupancy rental housing units has the potential to increase densities beyond those intended for single-family zoned neighborhoods. Modifications that essentially transform single-family dwellings into multiple-family dwellings or boardinghouses, both of which are prohibited within single-family zones, has a negative cumulative effect on the public's health, safety and welfare. These conversions can lead to overcrowding, excessive onstreet parking, neighborhood disturbances, and other undesirable impacts.
The specific purpose of the Residential Protection Overlay Zone is to:
A.
Establish development standards for affected properties to ensure the development review process provides for consideration of the impacts of new construction, alterations, and changes in use that have the potential to increase the intensity of single-family properties beyond that anticipated by the established zoning or the City's General Plan.
B.
Ensure the design of dwellings and on-site parking is appropriate for the area's character, and is appropriate for the area's capacity to accommodate increases in densities, which may be limited due to infrastructure, such as sewer, traffic control, on- and off-street parking, safety services, parkland, etc.
(Ord. 7592 § 4(Exh. E), 2022; Ord. 7331 § 22, 2016; Ord. 7302 § 2, 2015)
19.219.020 - Application. ¶
A.
The Residential Protection Overlay Zone shall require the provisions of this chapter to apply to any construction that results in a new habitable structure, the addition to an existing habitable structure, or modifications to the configuration (i.e., floor plan, layout, etc.) of an existing habitable structure.
B.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any new construction, additions or modifications that result in 1,000 square feet or less of total dwelling area on a lot.
C.
For any lot developed with more than one dwelling unit, including Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units pursuant to Chapter 19.442 and Two-Unit Developments pursuant to 19.443, the provisions of this Chapter shall apply individually to each dwelling unit on the lot.
(Ord. 7592 § 4(Exh. E), 2022; Ord. 7331 § 22, 2016; Ord. 7302 § 2, 2015)
19.219.030 - Development standards. ¶
The following development standards shall apply to the dwelling area of single-family residential structures (exclusive of garages, unconditioned patios, porches, and other such accessory structures).
A.
Bedrooms. The total area of all bedrooms shall not exceed 50 percent of the total dwelling area of the structure, as defined by Article X of the Zoning Code. The calculation of bedroom area shall not include closets or bathrooms, and measurements shall be from the centerline of interior walls, and the exterior of exterior walls.
==> picture [185 x 173] intentionally omitted <==

C.
Parking. In addition to the minimum parking requirements of Chapter 19.580 - Parking and Loading, any new construction, or modification to an existing dwelling, which results in a dwelling with five or more bedrooms, shall comply with the following:
1.
When the number of bedrooms in a dwelling equals or exceeds five, an additional open parking space shall be provided in a location that does not block access to other required parking spaces. The additional open parking space shall be in a location that complies with 19.580.070.A.2, except an existing driveway in front of a garage converted to a habitable space may remain and be counted toward the additional required open space, provided the driveway space meets the minimum parking space dimensions specified in this chapter.
2.
This provision shall not apply to units developed pursuant to Chapter 19.443 (Two-Unit Developments).

ARTICLE VII. - SPECIFIC LAND USE PROVISIONS Division I. - SPECIFIC PERMITTED LAND USES Chapter 19.240 - ADULT-ORIENTED BUSINESSES
19.240.010 - Purpose.
A.
The purpose of this chapter is to prevent community-wide adverse economic impacts, increased crime, decreased property values, and the deterioration of neighborhoods that can be brought about by the concentration of adult-oriented businesses, as defined in Section 9.40.020 of the Riverside Municipal Code, in close proximity to each other or proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools for minors, assemblies of people—non-entertainment and residentially zoned properties or uses.
B.
The City Council finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of adult-oriented businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area and an increase in crime, in addition to the effects described above, and can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is, therefore, the purpose of this chapter to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the concentration of adult-oriented businesses or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while permitting the location of adult-oriented businesses in certain areas.
