The specific purposes of the residential districts are to:

A. Preserve, protect, and enhance the character of the City’s different residential neighborhoods.

B. Ensure adequate light, air, and open space for each dwelling.

C. Ensure that the scale and design of new development and alterations to existing structures are compatible with surrounding homes and appropriate to the physical characteristics of the site and the area where the project is proposed.

D. Provide sites for public and semi-public land uses, such as parks and public safety facilities, that will serve City residents and will complement surrounding residential development.

Additional purposes of each residential district which follow implement General Plan classifications of “Single-Family, 3 du/acre,” “Single-Family, 6 du/acre,” “Multiple-Family, 15—20 du/acre,” “Multiple-Family, 45—59 du/acre,” and “Multiple-Family, 75—100 du/acre.”

E. RS-3 Single-Family. This district is intended for residential densities up to three (3) units per net acre. Development types may include single-unit housing and accessory dwelling units, second single-units pursuant to Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 (“urban infill units”), duplexes, and small lot subdivisions. In addition to single-unit homes, this district provides for uses such as small and large family child care, park and recreation facilities, and community gardens that may be appropriate in a single-family residential neighborhood.

F. RS-6 Single-Family. This district is intended for residential densities up to six (6) units per net acre. Development types may include single-unit housing, accessory dwelling units, second single-units pursuant to Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 (“urban infill units”), duplexes, townhomes, and small lot subdivisions. This district also allows for uses such as small and large family child care, park and recreation facilities, and civic and institutional uses such as schools and places for community assembly that may be appropriate in a single-family residential neighborhood.

G. RM-20 Multiple-Family. This district is intended for residential densities of up to twenty (20) units per net acre developed at a scale and form that is appropriate to its neighborhood context and adjacent uses. Dwelling types include small lot single-unit development, bungalow courts, front or rear loaded townhomes, multi-unit buildings, and accessory dwelling units. This district also allows for limited uses such as small and large family day care, park and recreation facilities, and civic and institutional uses such as schools and places for community assembly that are appropriate in a low density multifamily residential environment.

H. RM-59 Multiple-Family. This district is intended for residential development at densities up to fifty-nine (59) units per net acre. This density range accommodates townhomes and multi-unit buildings developed at a scale and form that is appropriate to its neighborhood context and adjacent single-family residential uses and forms. Small lot single-unit and bungalow court development is allowed where site conditions exist rendering the development type equal to or better than multi-unit or townhome development. Accessory dwelling units are also permitted in this district. In addition to residential uses, this district allows for a limited number of public and semi-public uses such as day care centers, public safety facilities, and residential care facilities that are appropriate in a medium density multifamily residential environment.

I. RM-100 Multiple-Family. This district is intended for residential development at densities up to one hundred (100) units per net acre. This density range accommodates townhomes and multi-unit buildings developed at a scale and form that exemplifies high quality development. Accessory dwelling units are also permitted in this district. In addition to residential uses, this district allows for a limited number of public and semi-public uses such as day care centers, public safety facilities, and residential care facilities that are appropriate in a high density multifamily residential environment.

18.04.020 Land use regulations. Revised 10/24

Table 18.04.020 prescribes the land use regulations for residential districts. The regulations for each district are established by letter designations as follows:

“P” designates permitted uses.

“M” designates use classifications that are permitted after review and approval of a minor use permit by the Zoning Administrator.

“C” designates use classifications that are permitted after review and approval of a conditional use permit by the Planning and Transportation Commission.

“(#)” numbers in parentheses refer to specific limitations listed at the end of the table.

“-” designates uses that are not permitted.

Use classifications are defined in Chapter 18.40, Use Classifications. In cases where a specific land use or activity is not defined, the Director shall assign the land use or activity to a classification that is substantially similar in character. Use classifications and subclassifications not listed in the table or not found to be substantially similar to the uses below are prohibited. The table also notes additional use regulations that apply to various uses. Section numbers in the right-hand column refer to other sections of this title.

If located on a building with two (2) or more stories, the articulated elements must be greater than one (1) story in height, and may be grouped rather than evenly spaced in twenty-five (25) foot modules. Building entrances and front porches and projections into required yards such as stoops, bays, overhangs, fireplaces, and trellises may count towards meeting this requirement.

6. Facade Detailing and Materials. All visible building facades shall incorporate details, such as window and door trim, window recesses, cornices, changes in materials or other design elements, in an integrated composition. Each side of a building that is visible from a public right-of-way shall be designed with a complementary level of detailing and quality of materials.

C. Private Storage Space. Each unit shall have at least two hundred (200) cubic feet of enclosed, weather-proofed, and lockable private storage space with a minimum horizontal dimension of four (4) feet.

D. Paving. Differentiated paving materials shall be used for garage aprons, entries, and pedestrian walkways. This may include, but not be limited to, textures or colors, concrete pavers, brick, or stamped concrete. The use of permeable materials to reduce runoff is strongly encouraged.

E. Pedestrian Access. On-site pedestrian circulation and access must be provided according to the following standards:

1. Internal Connections. A system of pedestrian walkways shall connect all buildings on a site to each other, to on-site automobile and bicycle parking areas, and to any on-site open space areas or pedestrian amenities.

18.04.100 Small lot subdivisions.

A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide opportunities to increase the supply of smaller dwelling units and rental housing units by allowing the creation of subdivisions with smaller lots and dwellings. It also is intended to establish design and development standards for these projects to ensure that they are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, where the general plan anticipates no change to existing neighborhood character.

B. Location. A small lot subdivision may be proposed and approved on any site within the RS district where such development would be compatible with adjacent uses and the character of the area. A small lot subdivision shall not be allowed where the review authority determines that public utilities and services are inadequate or the landform is inappropriate for such development because of grading or impacts on views from adjacent lots.

C. Development Types. Small lot subdivisions may be proposed and approved for small lot single-unit subdivisions, and townhouse development developed according to Section 18.04.070, Residential development types.

D. Lot Standards. The lot standards listed in Table 18.04.100-D, Small Lot Subdivision Lot Standards, apply to small lot subdivisions.
