Santa Cruz Municipal Code Part 7 R-T Tourist Residential District

The purpose of the R-T Tourist Residential District is to establish a zoning district to accommodate a mix of residential, motel, and commercial land uses and to preserve historical buildings and trees within the district. Recognizing this variety of land uses and the desire to utilize existing land uses, the R-T District is divided into five subdistricts: Medium-Density Residential, Motel Residential, Beach Commercial, Beach Residential, and High/Medium Density Residential. Each subdistrict is designed to ensure compatibility of uses, upgrade the area by ensuring a high quality of new developments, and promote a suitable environment for residential and tourist-oriented uses. This section of the Zoning Ordinance is also part of the Local Coastal Implementation Plan.
