This section provides regulations applicable to development and new land uses in the residential zoning districts established by subsection 2.03.020 (Zoning Districts Established). The purpose of this section is to achieve the following:
A. 
Preserve and enhance the predominately low density, high quality residential character of the city, while providing a variety of housing opportunities and residential land use options to accommodate existing and future residents;
B. 
Strive to attract quality development, while providing opportunities for neighborhood interaction;
C. 
Ensure that existing residential neighborhoods, and any remaining vacant lands, are developed in a manner that preserves and enhances neighborhood character, establishes neighborhood identity, and provides a consistent land use pattern;
D. 
Ensure compatibility of residential development, which is generally determined by prevailing density, parcel configuration and size, and structure design, scale, and type;
E. 
Ensure adequate air, landscaped areas, light, privacy, and open space for each dwelling;
F. 
Minimize traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of public services and utilities; and
G. 
Facilitate the provision of public improvements commensurate with anticipated increase in population, dwelling unit densities, and service requirements.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2, 11-25-04)
The purposes of the individual residential zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:
A. 
RS-15000 (Single-Family) zoning district. The RS-15000 zoning district provides areas for single-family residential estates with minimum parcel sizes of 15,000 square feet, at a maximum density of two and one-half (2 1/2) dwelling units per gross acre;
B. 
RS-6000 (Single-Family) zoning district. The RS-6000 zoning district provides areas for single-family, urban residential development on minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet, at a maximum density of five dwelling units per gross acre;
C. 
RS-5000 (Single-Family) zoning district. The RS-5000 zoning district provides areas for small-lot, single-family, urban residential development, at a maximum density based on one dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet of gross lot area. Small-lot, single-family detached development, including conventional developments or zero lot line where dwelling units may be built to the property line on one side only, are appropriate. Developments may incorporate common areas for driveway/private roads, parking, and recreation;
D. 
RM-15 (Multiple-Family) zoning district. The RM-15 zoning district provides areas for the development of medium density apartments, condominiums, townhouses, or other group dwellings with provisions for adequate air, landscaped areas, light, and open space. The maximum allowed density is 15 dwelling units per gross acre;
E. 
RM-20 (Multiple-Family) zoning district. The RM-20 zoning district provides areas for the development of apartments, condominiums, townhouses, or other group dwellings with provisions for adequate air, landscaped areas, light, and open space. The maximum allowed density is 20 dwelling units per gross acre;
F. 
MHP-20A (Mobile Home Park) zoning district. The MHP-20A zoning district identifies areas appropriate for the exclusive development of mobile home parks subject to certain restrictions. The MHP-20A zoning district is consistent with the mobile home park land use designation of the general plan; and
G. 
Rounding down of fractional numbers. When calculating the allowed density within each of the above listed zoning districts, fractional numbers shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
(Ord. No. 1062, § 2, 11-25-04)
A. 
Allowed land uses.
1. 
Table 2-2 indicates the uses allowed within each residential zoning district. Table 2-2 indicates the uses allowed within the RS-15000, RS-6000, RS-5000, RM-15, RM-20, and MHP-20A zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with article 4 (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures).
2. 
Residential uses are the primary allowed use. Residential uses represent the primary allowed use, and only those additional uses that are complementary to, and can exist in harmony with, the residential character of each zoning district may be allowed as accessory, conditionally permitted, and/or temporary uses, as indicated in table 2-2.
B. 
Prohibited land uses. Any table cell with a "—" means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zoning district.
C. 
Land uses not listed. For land uses not listed in table 2-2, the provisions of subsection 4.19.030 (Director's review) shall apply.
D. 
Applicable subsections. Where the last column in the tables ("See Section") includes a subsection number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other sections of this zoning ordinance may also apply.
