Single-family dwellings allowed only as attached units.

(3)
|
A building permit is required to verify occupancy standards.
|
(4)
|
A Minor Use Permit is required for the construction of new multi-family
supportive or transitional housing units in an RR or R-1-6 Zoning
District, similar to construction of a new traditional multi-family
unit in an RR or R-1-6 Zone. The construction of new multi-family
supportive housing units does not require a Minor Use Permit when
the proposed use meets each of the requirements of Assembly Bill 2162,
as specified in Government Code Section 65651. A new supportive or
transitional housing use occupying an existing multi-family residence
in an RR or R-1-6 Zoning District is a permitted use requiring only
a Zoning Clearance.
|
(5)
|
A community garden is allowed on the same property as an existing
permitted meeting facility provided that the establishment of the
garden does not trigger a grading permit or affect the operation and
design of the meeting facility.
