The General Plan outlines goals and objectives regarding single-family residential uses and development. The purpose of this Division is to implement those General Plan goals and objectives that relate to single-family residential land use.
(Ord. 1754, 6/24/2025)
The following single-family residential zones, with their general purpose as indicated, have been created to implement the goals, objectives, and residential land use designations of the General Plan.
A. 
RS-16, Select Estate Residential Zone. For the development and preservation of residential areas of single-family homes on large lots in order to maintain a park-like setting within a hillside environment.
B. 
RS-10, Estate Residential Zone. For the development and preservation of residential areas of single-family homes on relatively large lots located adjacent to or near a golf course.
C. 
RS-8, Suburban Residential Zone. For the development and preservation of residential areas of single-family homes on medium-size lots located in hillside areas or near a golf course.
D. 
RS-6, One-Family Residential Zone. For the development and preservation of residential areas of single-family homes located on moderate to minimum size lots on relatively flat terrain.
E. 
PD, Planned Development Zones. To provide for land uses and development standards to be tailored to individual sites. This land use designation requires that a master plan be prepared for each area so designated. The master plan must discuss development phasing, development intensities, amenities, design, and how the development is to conform with the guiding principles included in the Land Use Element of the General Plan for each area designated as Planned Development. It is intended to preclude incremental development which may be detrimental to the whole.
F. 
Overlay Zones. The following special designations are established which may be combined by notation on the Zoning Map with any of the zones above in order to accomplish the additional purposes indicated below:
1. 
A, Agricultural Overlay Zone. To provide for the preservation of areas of single-family homes on large lots with associated agricultural activities, including limited animal keeping.
2. 
P, Parking Overlay Zone. To provide for and encourage the development of needed parking areas to serve adjacent commercial and public service uses located in the central area of the City. Such parking use is intended to be arranged within residential zones adjacent to commercial zones in a manner which protects the residential areas from undue adverse effects of adjacent commercial activity and may lead to an orderly transition from residential to parking use for such areas.
3. 
Housing Incentive Overlay (HIO) Zones. The HIO Zones includes six (6) Overlays that serve to implement the Housing Element's goal of providing new housing that addresses affordable housing needs by establishing objective design criteria for designated housing opportunity sites. The HIOs include Mixed-Use Overlay-45, Mixed-Use Overlay-60, Mixed-Use Overlay-100, Housing Opportunities Overlay, Religious Congregational and Fraternal Overlay, and Hotel/Motel Conversion Overlay. The HIO Zones have been applied to properties shown on the Zoning Map.
(Ord. 1754, 6/24/2025)
Properties located in areas shown on the Zoning Map with the symbol "MUO45", "MUO60", "MUO100", "HOO", "RCFO", or "HMCO" may be used for higher-density housing as a primary use in lieu of, but not in combination with, other uses, density, or intensity authorized for the underlying zone. Objective Design Standards apply to such properties. Refer to the adopted Housing Incentive Overlay (HIO) Objective Design and Development Standards for applicable standards.

A. 
A planned unit development, wherein the owners of individual lots also hold undivided interests in common areas within the same development, all as defined in Section 19.104.080, may be approved in any RS zone. Such approval shall be accomplished under both the subdivision ordinance (Division I of Title 18) and site plan review (Section 19.128.040) procedures, except a conditional use permit also is required for the planned unit development for any development in the PD Zone.
B. 
For planned unit developments, the minimum lot size and dimension requirements of Section 19.308.050, as well as other regulations of this Division based on dimensions from lot lines, shall not apply to the individual unit lots, but shall apply to the total net site area of each such development.
