Mountain House R-H zoning: height, setbacks and lot size

R-H is a zoning district in Mountain House. Every value below was read from the Mountain House Municipal Code and links to its section (read October 2026). State laws such as the ADU and SB 9 rules can allow more on a residential lot. General information, not legal advice — read the code text and check with the city before you build.

The general rule for a typical lot in this zone. Zoning tables often attach notes, such as rules for corner lots, lots next to a residential zone, or new subdivisions only. Open “code text” under a value to see the table cell or sentence it was read from.

Uses the code's use tables allow in R-H, or allow with a permit. Each links to its page with the code section.

• Child care center — Needs an use permit
• Growing crops — Allowed

• Minimum front setback: 10 ft — on an arterial street § 9-3-309
