Where is a single-family home allowed in Redondo Beach?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Redondo Beach Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

Redondo Beach'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.

RH-4.

• 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).
• Not covered here: P public and institutional zones (P-PRO, P-ROW, others): use table not in the packet; Coastal-only zones C-5A, MU-2 and CC-1..CC-5 (Chapter 5 coastal ordinance): their tables carry 'effective date pending subject to litigation' history notes, so no cells were taken from them; Chapter 5 (coastal) tables for zones that also exist in Chapter 2 were compared with Chapter 2; where they differ or the use is missing there, the cell is left out or noted. Chapter 2 is used for the cells.; Definitions in Section 10-4.402 (senior housing, residential care facility for the elderly, convalescent facility) are not in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
