Zones where a single-family home can go
Hawaiian Gardens's code calls this use “Single-family residential”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| R-1:10,000 Single-Family Estate (table column shared with R-1) | Allowed | § 18.40.070 |
| R-1 Single-Family Residential (table column shared with R-1:10,000) | Allowed | § 18.40.070 |
| R-2 Medium and Intermediate Density Residential (column shared with R-3) | Allowed | § 18.40.070 |
| R-3 Medium and Intermediate Density Residential (column shared with R-2) | Allowed | § 18.40.070 |
| R-4 High Density Residential | Allowed | § 18.40.070 |
Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- S3 (non-residential zones) calls the row "Single-family unit". "Single-family residential" is X in RIH.
- State law: State law lets most single-family lots add an ADU and a JADU (California ADU law) and a second home or a lot split under SB 9 (Gov. Code § 65852.21).
- Overlay zones and specific plans can change the answer for a lot.
