This chapter establishes zoning districts and overlay districts in order to separate incompatible land uses from each other by:
(a) 
Providing different zoning districts for agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, recreation and public uses;
(b) 
Establishing the approval procedure necessary to establish certain land uses in various zoning districts; and
(c) 
Delineating between various uses for the purpose of regulating the location, height, bulk, number of stories and size of buildings and structures; and, the use of lots, setbacks and open spaces; and, the inten-sity of land uses.
In so doing, it is intended to implement the General Plan adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65300 et seq.
(Ord. 602 § 2, 2016)
The following zoning districts are established:
(a) 
Agricultural and residential zoning districts:
(1) 
Agriculture—A;
(2) 
Residential Suburban—RS;
(3) 
Residential Single-Family—RSF;
(4) 
Limited Single-Family Residential—LSF;
(5) 
Residential Multiple-Family—RMF.
(b) 
Nonresidential zoning districts:
(1) 
Commercial Neighborhood—CN;
(2) 
Commercial Professional—CP;
(3) 
Commercial Retail—CR;
(4) 
Commercial Service—CS;
(5) 
Commercial Tourist—CT;
(6) 
Commercial Park—CPK;
(7) 
Downtown Commercial—DC;
(8) 
Downtown Office—DO;
(9) 
Industrial Park—IP;
(10) 
Industrial—I.
(c) 
Public zoning districts:
(1) 
Recreation—L;
(2) 
Special Recreation—LS;
(3) 
Public—P;
(4) 
Open Space—OS.
(Ord. 602 § 2, 2016)
Overlay districts intended to protect public safety and the environment and to preserve scenic, cultural and historic resources are established as follows:
(a) 
Overlay districts:
(1) 
Flood Hazard—FH;
(2) 
Geologic Hazard—GH;
(3) 
Historic Site—HS;
(4) 
Sensitive Resource—SR;
(5) 
Planned Development—PD;
(6) 
Emergency Shelters (ES) (9-3.501).
(Ord. 602 § 2, 2016)
(a) 
Zoning Districts. The letter symbols listed after each zoning district in Section 9-3.102(a) through (c) shall be used to designate the location of various zoning districts on the official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102).
(b) 
Overlay Districts. The letter symbols listed after each overlay district in Section 9-3.103(a) shall be appended to the base zoning district and be placed in parentheses thereafter to designate the location of various overlay districts on the official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102). Example: Residential Suburban as the base zone within a Flood Hazard and Geologic Hazard overlay area would show on the official zoning maps as RS (FH) (GH).
(c) 
Density in Residential Multiple-Family Zoning District. A number specifying the maximum permitted number of dwelling units per net acre in multiple-family residential zoning districts shall be appended to the base zoning district to designate the density on the official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102).
Example: Residential multiple-family allowing 24 units per net acre within a Historic Site overlay area would show on the official zoning maps as RMF-24 (HS).
(d) 
Minimum Lot Size in Residential and Agricultural Zoning District Areas. A symbol specifying the minimum lot size in acres in certain residential zoning districts shall be appended to the base zoning district and be placed following a hyphen thereafter where necessary to designate the minimum lot size on the official zoning maps (see Section 9-1.102).
Example: Residential Single-Family with a 1/2 acre minimum lot size in a Flood Hazard Overlay Zone would show on the official zoning maps as RSF-X(FH). Minimum lot size will not always be shown on the official maps especially in zoning districts where the minimum size is uniform, in circumstances where Chapter 9-6 establishes minimum sizes for some, but not all, uses within a zoning district, and where performance standards identified for certain zoning districts in this chapter are used to establish the minimum lot size.
