Zones where a single-family home can go
Lompoc'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.

| RA Residential Agriculture | Allowed | Division II — Allowed Uses and Development Standards for All Zones |
| R-1 Single-Family Residential | Allowed | Division II — Allowed Uses and Development Standards for All Zones |
| R-2 Medium Density Residential | Allowed | Division II — Allowed Uses and Development Standards for All Zones |
| R-3 High Density Residential | Needs a conditional use permit — see note Note 2: Multi-family projects of single-family homes are permitted (e.g., cottage court), but a standalone single-family dwelling requires a CUP. | Division II — Allowed Uses and Development Standards for All Zones |

- Not covered here: Specific Plan (SP) zone: allowed uses come from each adopted specific plan; Overlay zones (AO, CRO, SO, PD, SEO, HSO): table 17.224.030.A modifies base-zone uses (e.g. HSO), not used here. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
