17.54.010 - Purpose¶
Nothing in this title shall be interpreted to mean that an owner of a parcel of land, as defined in this chapter, shall be allowed to construct, by right, more than one dwelling unit or apartment building, including a "duplex," "triplex" or "fourplex," on a single parcel of property within the R-2, R-3 or CO zones.
(Ord. 493 § 1 (part), 1976: Ord. 376 § 10-4-10 (part), 1967.)
17.54.020 - Parcel Defined; Interpretation¶
"Parcel" means the same thing as the word "lot" as used in the Subdivision Map Act of the state. The more inclusive definition of the word "parcel" found in this title which could include several lots if they were located adjacent to each other is suspended for this chapter only. Nothing in this chapter shall be held to prevent an owner of several lots which are adjacent to each other from constructing more than one building on his total property holding; one building may be built on each separate lot.
(Ord. 493 § 1 (part), 1976: Ord. 376 § 10-4-10 (part), 1967.)
17.54.030 - More Than One Dwelling; Use Permit¶
Construction of more that one single-family dwelling unit on a single parcel zoned R-1, R-2, R-3, is permitted subject to the provisions of Chapter 17.55 (Second Units).
For multi-family dwellings, see Sections 17.52.010 and 17.52.020.
