The purposes of the residential zone districts are as follows:
A.
Low
Density Residential (R-1) Zone District. Applied to traditional suburban
neighborhoods, primarily consisting of detached single-family residences
and uses compatible with single-family uses. This zone district can
be applied throughout the City where low density residential uses
are deemed appropriate. The R-1 Zone District is consistent with the
Low Density Residential General Plan designation.
B.
Small
Lot Residential (R-2) Zone District. Provides areas similar to the
R-1 Zone District but also allows for smaller single-family lots and
duplexes. It also allows uses compatible with these residential uses.
This zone district is primarily utilized around and within areas designated
by the General Plan as a Neighborhood Center or Civic Centers. The
R-2 Zone District is also consistent with the Small Lot Residential
General Plan designation.
C.
Medium
Density Residential (R-3) Zone District. Allows higher density single-family
residential development, duplexes, attached townhouses and garden
apartments. This zone district is primarily located within areas designated
by the General Plan as a Neighborhood Center or Civic Center. The
R-3 Zone District is also consistent with the Medium Density Residential
General Plan designation.
D.
Multiple-Family
Residential (R-4) Zone District. Provides for the highest density
residential uses with a level of standards conducive to providing
a suitable living environment to those living in multiple-family residences,
as well as uses compatible with multiple-family neighborhoods. This
zone district is primarily located within areas designated by the
General Plan as a Neighborhood Center or Civic Center. The R-4 Zone
District is also consistent with the High Density Residential General
Plan designation.
(Ord. 526 § 1, 2010)
Table 17.02.020 identifies the uses of land allowed by each
of the residential zone districts. The last column of the table identifies
a section of this title that references additional land use regulations
or development standards that are applicable to that use. The applicable
permit requirements for each use are established by the letter designations
as follows:
|

|
"P"

|
|
"ZC"

|
|
"U"
|
