charm

feel of this multi-family property

either street
The R-4 Multiple Family Residential Zone,
located along Orange Avenue primarily
between Second and Eighth Streets,
includes some non-residential buildings
(primarily motels) amongst the residential
buildings.
Section B Residential Character and Style
discusses the multi-functional nature of
the R-4 Zone. Readers should note that
many of the criteria presented in Chapter
6 Commercial Zone Design Criteria can be
adapted to the special character of the R-
4 area. Therefore, following Section B of
this chapter, the remaining criteria
emphasize modifications from the commercial
zone’s criteria to appropriately
address the R-4 neighborhood.
Existing non-residential buildings in the
R-4 Zone are allowed to remain. Any
existing business remodeling in this area
should utilize the criteria found in this
section as general criteria for scale and
design.
B. RESIDENTIAL
CHARACTER AND STYLE
The R-4 Multiple Family Residential Zone
sits at the hub of Coronado’s “village”
area. The commercial areas radiate from
it to the north and south along Orange
Avenue, while to the east and west lower
density housing spreads out at decreasing
densities.
