The purpose of the RS zones is to provide appropriate regulations for the development of single dwelling units that accommodate a variety of lot sizes and residential dwelling types and which promote neighborhood quality, character, and livability. It is intended that these zones provide for flexibility in development regulations that allow reasonable use of property while minimizing adverse impacts to adjacent properties.

Homeowners have the choice to further improve their property and get permits under SB-9 or the current Base Zoning. Read more about the eligibility criteria for SB9.
